Why doesn't Google's autocomplete suggest "genocide in Gaza"?
Google's autocomplete feature aims to be helpful and time-saving by suggesting common searches based on your input. However, it has systems in place to avoid predicting potentially unhelpful or policy-violating terms. This includes preventing suggestions for predictions that are:

Violent, sexually explicit, hateful, or disparaging.
Unlikely to return reliable information, such as unconfirmed rumors after a news event.

While Google endeavors to prevent such suggestions, they acknowledge that this process isn't always perfect and they are constantly working to improve their algorithms.
Important Considerations:

Differing Perspectives: It's crucial to acknowledge that the use of the term "genocide" in relation to the conflict in Gaza is highly debated and has differing legal interpretations.

Legal vs. Common Usage: While the term "genocide" has a specific legal definition under international law, it's also used more broadly by various individuals and groups to describe atrocities and human suffering.
Ongoing Legal Processes: The International Criminal Court (ICC) and the International Court of Justice (ICJ) have been involved in legal proceedings related to potential crimes committed during the conflict.
No Autocomplete Doesn't Mean No Results: The absence of "genocide in Gaza" in Google's autocomplete doesn't prevent you from fully typing out the search query to access relevant information.

In summary, while Google's autocomplete might not suggest "genocide in Gaza" to avoid potentially problematic terms, it does not impede users from searching for this information to learn more about the ongoing situation and its various interpretations.

More than a year into Israel’s most brutal assault on Gaza, much of the besieged enclave has been destroyed, including many schools and hospitals. Last year, as the war was just beginning, we visited Gaza’s largest and most important hospital - al-Shifa - as it faced collapse following the Israeli siege on water and fuel. The electricity was about to run out and al-Shifa was close to collapse.

Now, more than a year later, we go back to the hospital that served so many Palestinians throughout so many attacks on Gaza. Al-Shifa Hospital ­is now an empty shell after the latest siege. No patients remain at the facility. Most of the buildings are extensively damaged or destroyed and the majority of the equipment is unusable or reduced to ashes. The scale of devastation has left the facility completely non-functional, further reducing access to life-saving healthcare in Gaza. Restoring even minimal functionality in the short term seems implausible but with a partial reopening, not impossible.

The hospital’s emergency department and surgical and maternity ward buildings are extensively damaged due to explosives and fire. The western wall of the emergency department and the northern wall of the neonatal intensive care department (NICU) have been torn down. At least 115 beds in what once was the emergency department have been burned and 14 incubators in the NICU destroyed, among other assets.

Numerous shallow graves have been dug just outside the emergency department, and administrative and surgical buildings. In the same area, many bodies were partially buried with their limbs visible, a smell of decomposing flesh engulfing the hospital compound.

According to the acting hospital director, patients were held in abysmal conditions during the siege. They endured a severe lack of food, water, healthcare, hygiene and sanitation, and were forced to relocate between buildings at gunpoint.

This film, Al-Shifa Hospital: Annihilation and Resilience, will bring to light the devastation of al-Shifa Hospital, and what this means for the healthcare system of Gaza.

Norwegian physician Dr Mads Gilbert, who has spent extensive time working in Gaza, including at al-Shifa hospital, says the siege of the facility has destroyed its legacy.

“The Israeli occupation forces this night have ended 78 years of brave medical history,” Gilbert told Al Jazeera, speaking from Tromso, Norway.
The hospital was built in 1946 and was the most important flagship hospital for the healthcare for people in Gaza, he said.

“This is such a sad day, I’ve been weeping all morning.”

Meanwhile, the fate of the 107 critical patients who were moved two days ago to an old part of the medical complex remains unknown, Gilbert said.

People are now searching for corpses at the site, finding “the most horrible decomposed corpses with maggots coming out of the eyes”.

“The maggots that are creeping out of the corpses in al-Shifa Hospital now are really maggots coming out of the eyes of President Biden and the EU leaders doing nothing to stop this horrible, horrible genocide,” the physician said.
