Israel can do terrible things without it being a genocide.
The USA’s bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki were terrible things. But they were not genocidal.
You’re the one fixated on calling it a genocide. I’m more than happy to say that Israel’s settlers in the West Bank are assholes or that the Bibi government is full of right-wing power mongers or whatever. But genocide is a completely different word yo and shouldn’t be used so wantonly.
Apparently you like WW2, so I’m trying to work with you here. The millions of people the USA killed in Japan do not constitute a genocide. And Japan agrees with us. War is war. A genocide is a well defined thing. A systematic erasure of a culture, a people. The closest thing to a genocide in Israel right now is West Bank IMO, with the settler issue which is causing displacements and whatever. But that’s not the Gaza situation you’re talking about.

but it is a genocide, so this is moot.
so WWII analogies are fine, but only wehn you use them to excuse genocide.

but what’s happening in gaza is not a war because gaza is a ghetto inside israel. it’s a genocide.
