So, you’re saying that the Israeli genocide of Palestinians is on the same scale as those other atrocities?

I agree with you.

This may sound weird given the past couple of weeks, but I think Palestinians are in a far better position than they folks you mention. They (historically and now) get so much more attention, so much more aid, so much more support with the bargaining process. the others are literally swept under the world rug. I wish the Palestinians would do more with the worldwide support they get.

I think it’s very much the opposite. I think the goodwill many had unquestioningly for Israel is forever gone.

This is a genocide.

As time passes, and more details emerge, Israel will forever be branded a genocidal nation. It’s a matter of time before that catches up with them. I don’t think the US is going to stop supporting them immediately but our complicity is another way that US is declining on the world stage.

Biden has already sealed his legacy as genocide denier.

Most reasonable people would react like Israel to an attack like Oct 7. This is actually a pretty measured response. How do you think, I don't know, an Iran would respond? Reasonable people are not "branding Israel as a genocidal nation". The appropriation and hyperbole, wow.

Wow. You think this response is measured? What would an Iran do that is worse? Deploy nuclear weapons?

Probably. Aren't they threatening that right now? ^

Ironically, the only ones threatening to obliterate an entire people is Israel. Apparently, we need a genocide in the Middle East to keep people safe.

This is untrue. The motto of Hamas is "From the River to the Sea" meaning they want Israel genocided. Iran and others have also called for Israel to be genocided.

The repeat genocide poster is unable to see this. The below comes to mind.

"Matthew 7:3-5
King James Version
And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye."

Oy vey.

I dated a Jewish guy not a decade ago whose parents referred to me (a black woman) in derogatory terms - to their son - so eff off.

Huh?

So don’t “oy vey” the idea that some Jews are racist. Thanks and good bye!

Bibi is a true genius. He played up Hamas for years, watch them build tunnels, allow them to get money and supplies and then stepped aside while they murdered innocent civilian Israelis. It was no coincidence that Israel's Gaza defense was lax - it was by design. Now Bibi can scrub Palestinians from Gaza and the West Bank and annex the land. Bibi gets to fulfill Israel's master plan of becoming a true Jewish state.

Kind of like the idea that some Blacks are antisemites

Sure! But I don’t see any black people claiming that they can’t possibly be wrong about the current conflict because once upon a time they cooperated with Jews decades ago during the civil rights movements

I agree with you.

I disagree.

Assad butchered a lot more civilians (over 500,000) than the IDF did.
For that matter, Russia has killed far more Ukrainian civilians than the IDF did as well.

But the voices we hear pointing at the IDF won't talk about any of that - because they side with Russia and the other evil powers who do even worse deeds than the IDF.

Does China put out non-stop propaganda about how it’s merely protecting its democratic impulses in massacres against Uyghurs? Do Syria and Russia have decades of “oppression” they cite with each atrocity where retaliation and self-defense get mixed up? No.

Yes, Israel is the new/old Syria. You’ve done a fab job convincing me and a growing proportion of the world.

NP. Do you even understand what the word genocide means? Here, I will look it up for you:
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.

When a population increases 155.0 percent in 32 years, that is the opposite of genocide.

What they did with the support they got was to elevate Hamas terrorists. Opportunity squandered.

Wow. Completely unhinged, convoluted and wrong pretzel logic in that post. Congratulations on reaching new levels of bizarre.

If you were dealing with Russia or China there wouldn't be a discussion. Because you are dealing with a civilized, Western country like Israel Palestinians have had 70 years of support form the West. The West mostly doesn't bother with those other places, because it's pointless.
