No. Genocide isn’t a term you can throw around lightly, something you don’t like isn’t genocide just because you think it is. There is no genocide in Palestine, and it’s horrendously offensive to even suggest that such a thing is occurring.
There’s literally no justification for it and no strategic purpose to it unless you accept that the intention is to expel most or all of the population and give them nothing to return to, and they will kill as many as it takes to make that happen.
South Africa is making the case that it’s genocide, that’s not to be taken lightly and it’s not just random people saying it is.
There’s been plenty of evidence. Look at the one-sided settler violence that’s been happening in West Bank, the people killed there are by and large uninvolved with the October massacre and terrorist attacks, including the American-Palestinian boy from Louisiana.
I have nothing against Jews or people who are from Israel. We have to stop supporting and sanction the IDF and Israeli government’s policy of recklessly inflicting non-combatant casualties in the region.
I agree with you, but found out real quick that people on here really do believe the over the top rhetoric with respect to this religious war. Now I generally just pass on by without commenting. This being an exception. The better to gather downvotes I suppose.
It’s good to know you support the killing of 10s of thousands of innocent civilians, many women and children, and the forced starvation of at least half a million people. Of course though, because they are Arab means they don’t count as people right?
You’re right. However, the rest is genocide.

They’re bulldozing graveyards.
Wait, is that considered genocidal? It’s certainly contributory to the destruction of culture, but on its own, they’re already dead.

That’s genocide.
Just because you say it doesn’t make it true, and just because you pretend to be horrified or offended doesn’t make it false
Telling people they shouldn’t talk about genocide is horrendously offensive.
Trivializing actual genocide by just throwing the word around is also horrendously offensive.

Exactly! That type of rhetoric. Just fascinating.
Okay psycho.
And straight to ad hominem attacks. It’s really just the most interesting time to be alive.
