    Israel is committing genocide and it’s not antisemitism to oppose war crimes.

      Can confirm, just wish other people around the fediverse would realize you can adore and speak out against Israel without being antisemitic. To clarify I mean that can you speak out against genocide AND that you don’t have to say shit like “fuck the Jews”.

      Been fighting that bullshit since Israeli Trump started his genocide.

      They’re not committing genocide, they’re technically committing ethnic cleansing.

      Read the definitions.

        Genocide is the destruction of a culture, or ethnicity, in whole, or in part.

        This has lead to the forced dispersal of these groups to be labeled as genocides, as well as, forced conversion from their cultural and ethnic roots.

        So forcing people to flee their land, forcing them into schools designed to cut them from their culture and language, etc. have been recognized as forms of genocide.
