    The Israelis don’t treat Palestinians like they are human beings. They don’t care to make generations of enemies with their war crimes.

        not true! look at all the riots and almost civil war that happened when a judge said maybe you don’t have the right to rape palestinian prisoners!

        their orifices and screams are also valued. something something chopping wood.

      Did you say the same thing about palestinians on oct 7th or do you have some sort of antisemetic double standard where you think it is acceptable to judge all israeli’s by the actions of a few, but do not think its acceptable to judge all palestinains based on the actions of a few?

        There’s that word. “Antisemitism”. Put it back in the deck Moishe, It’s not winning you any arguments.

        Likely they did.

        Although I’d like to correct that they should be condemning the IDF and Isreali settlers, and not all israeli people. Just like you should be condemning Hamas, and not all the palestinian people. (which I’ve seen you’ve incinuated correctly).

        Although I would say, based on other comments I’ve come across from you, you are likely a Zionist. Minimising the number of deaths in Gaza, and a lot of whataboutism.

        Both sides have a lot of hatred and resentment toward each other. The problem is that the power balance is extremely heavily in favor of Israel, and they are able to exert their will on the Palestinians through force the Palestinians have no answer for.

        But yes, killing innocent people is bad whenever it happens, and no, not all Israelis are bad, just the government, military, and settlers. One admittedly horrific massacre does not give Israel license to commit genocide on the Palestinian people, which is precisely what is happening right now.

          Yes let’s compare them together:

          A group of designated terrorists, absorbed into, a military force, that forces all European and North American citizens to join their forces and continue it “killing” and “stealing” of other people land. Compared in haterd for people who got their stuff stolen, killed, and oppressed in their damn land.

          It is like police killing black people and a politician goes on about how trust between the community need to be built again. When it is one sided oppression.

          the thing is, as shown here, there are no zionist civilians. not one. they are all armed ready and not just willing but eager to fight.

          that isn’t to say there aren’t any sort of resistance, but while they’re not quite partisans yet, friendly fire is not the same as killing civilians.

            80% of American jews self identify as zionists.

            Are you honestly arguing that american jews who have never been to israel and have never served in any military are valid targets to be killed by the palestinian ‘resistance’?

            Being forced from your homes; deprived of food, water, and healthcare; and tortured and terrorized is genocide by any definition.

            Comparing the effectiveness of your genocide to the effectiveness of Nazi genocide does not help your cause.

              genocide has a very specific definition under international law and “tortured and terrorized” is not genocide. It is torture, and terror.

              Do you consider Hamas’ terror attacks and torture of civilian hostages to be genocide against Israel? Of course you don’t. Why? Is it the lack of effectiveness of your genocide that makes you OK with it?

                Genocide is an internationally recognized crime where acts are committed with the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group

                The destruction of Gaza and the continued displacement in the West Bank for this definition. Israel is destroying Palestine and the Palestinian people. That definition is from the Holocaust Museum.

            An outright instantaneous genocide would bring about too much bad publicity.

            Crippling the sovereign functionality of Palestinians along with killing and displacing ‘enough’ of them to prevent them from clawing any of that functionality back is the goal, and that’s what is happening.

              So it’s only genocide, if you redefine genocide to mean “crippling the sovereign functionality” instead of “destroying the people”.

              Typical fascist doublespeak, the enemy is both too strong and too weak. They are strong enough to do genocide, but too weak to actually do genocide so they have to do a hidden conspiracy super secret slow motion genocide which means will literally never actually finish the genocide they started.
