        “the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group.”

        Did a quick google for ya.

            Because the Palestinians were displaced from their native land?

                Idk, if someone came and took over my house and told me to fuck off I’d probably be pretty pissed about it for awhile.

                    I graduated a long ass time ago I don’t respond to “answer my question first!” when I make a statement.

                    One man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter. I would respond very poorly to someone coming and taking my home, even 50 years later.

                    So, how would you respond to the same situation?

                Tries historical rhetoric and fails so falls back on last week’s tragedy. No one is defending the civilians murders by Hamas, Israel created modern Hamas.

                  Let me help you with the answer to my question. Nothing justifies terror acts that Hamas did. NOTHING

            I’m watching very closely. I recommend you investigate the difference between Hamas and Gaza

            Because both sides are overly devoted to the same religion that worships the same once-fertile land that is now just almost useless desert?

      How? Hamas attacked Israel. So Hamas is committing genocide on itself? Seems like a leopard eating you face move.

          You’ll find that I’m critical of both sides in this conflict. I believe Israel and Hamas governments are in the wrong, have killed innocent people, and both should be dissolved and held accountable. This is the result of putting extremists in power.

            And one of them enjoys unconditional support from the most powerful military in the world. It’s completely asymmetrical.

            I think once you start using chemical weapons such as white phosphorus, a chemical agent so controversial Call of Duty had to remove it as a killstreak after backlash, you have lost the plot so hard that anyone willing to defend Israel after this are just transparently ignorant or monsters.

        Right now by bombing one of the worlds most densely populated areas with white phosphors.

            Flare, bombs. Doesn’t matter how you think it’s being delivered, it’s still being chucked into Gaza in large amounts.

              It’s a target market.

              4 weeks of Napoleonic artillery would level the strip. You need markers like wp and “smart” artillery munitions that can course correct mid flight to avoid flattening the damn city.

              Yes, but your implying something that isn’t happening. It’s bad enough just sticking to actual events.
