      Yes, I’m sure offering words of support to long term (((allies))) in the wake of a terrorist attack is the same thing as supporting genocide to you

        Giving those allies military aid and protecting them from retaliation by their neighbors is the same thing as supporting their genocide, yes.

        No, stationing warships nearby for protection and giving billions of dollars in weapons to a genocidal regime is the same as supporting genocide.

            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;


            It’s genocide.

              No, the clear intent is to attack Hamas, not massacre the populace. If you think the collateral damage from that action is too much, say that without trying to pretend things which aren’t genocide are genocide.

                They’re bombing hospitals, refugee camps, ambulances, even bakeries. They’re restricting their access to food, fuel, medicine, and clean water. They’re killing them by the thousands. Thousands of children have been blown up. They’re forcibly displacing them from the North into the South and intend to force them into Egypt, where they’ll never be allowed to return. They’ve rejected all negotiation with Hamas and are refusing to allow international observers and continually are cutting them off from outside communications.

                It’s a genocide and you are a genocide denier.

                  Because Hamas is using ambulances as military transports and using refugee camps, hospitals, and bakeries as military bases. What, are they not supposed to go after Hamas if they decide to commit war crimes and hide their military forces inside medical centers? That’s stupid, they’ll just start launching rockets from the roof of the hospitals and probably moon the drones.

                  It’s not genocide. You’re a liar and I don’t know why you’re running interference for genocidal lunatics like Hamas, whose goal is to martyr all of their population in order to kill as many Jews as possible.

                    There’s no actual proof of any of that, it’s just secret Israeli intelligence we’re supposed to believe.

                    If Israel was committing a genocide their actions would look identical to what they’re doing by starving the population, cutting off power to water plants and hospitals, and bombing literally everything. Their actions are indistinguishable from genocide, you just choose to believe they’re shooting through human shields because you’re running interference for a genocidal apartheid regime.
