I’m gonna look past your totally unnecessary hostility and just say I looked it up and you’re 100% right. Trying to eradicate Palestine as a nation is genocide, even if they don’t literally kill all the ethnic Palestinians. And yeah, that undercuts what I was saying a little bit… IDK, maybe you could argue that by couching it in terms that could be debated instead of “simpler” war crimes they were still trying to overcharge the offense, but it’s a lot shakier.
(Edit: Actually, wait, no. It’s debatable on the world stage whether they’re literally trying to eradicate the nation of Palestine. They can claim that they’re “only reacting to terrorism” or etc. I think that’s bullshit and they are trying to eradicate Palestine, but I still think that charging them with the simple war crimes that no one can with a straight face deny that they’re doing would still be a much stronger case.)
I think the hostility is especially silly since on this topic I’m obviously on your side and opposed to the slaughter of Palestinians by the Israelis.
Are y’all just addicted to treating everyone as an enemy?
Literally just in the message you’re replying to, I’m saying whoa, you’re right, it is genocide.
Which is more important to you: Having an ally, or being able to treat someone as an enemy so you can have an excuse to be hostile? Seems like it’s number 2. I’m honestly just perplexed by this reaction. But you know what, sure, we can fight about it if you want. What would you like me to pretend to believe so you have an excuse to yell at me?
In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:
Killing members of the group;
Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.
Netanyahu literally just said Israel will stretch from the river to the sea. Intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national ethnical group by killing them, causing serious bodily and mental harm to them, deliberately imprisoning them, poisoning them, occupying them, killing them.
My hostility stems from the fact that you have no excuse for not knowing this at this late stage of the conflict if you’re on the same side of the issue as me. No investigation, no right to speak.

Genocide denier complains about hostility.

You edited one part of you original post while leaving the rest of your terrible take. Those last two sections are doozies bud.
Still not got it right:

You don’t have to try to eradicate an entire nation to commit genocide, either. There’s a convention on this thing, you know…
Nah. It’s really not.
