    USA’s bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki

    so WWII analogies are fine, but only wehn you use them to excuse genocide.

      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.

        War is war.

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