    There’s still a long way from the current 20-something thousand death to 2 million. Literally 100 times as many. That’s even ignoring the Palestinians in the West Bank. I sure as hell hope that Israel stops or is stopped long before they get to those numbers. Killing all Palestinians is literal holocaust levels of murder.

    If genociding all Palestinians is the only way to “win” for the IDF, then I hope with all my heart that the IDF loses big time, and I sure as hell would assume any normal thinking human being agrees with me, as there is no way you can consider yourself moral person and at the same time be okay with the slaughtering of 2 million people.

      Well they’re hoping to scare the rest away, essentially what the US did to the Native Americans. If they do a Trail of Tears, it’s still ethnic cleansing, but it’s easier to spin. Even though, I want to emphasize, it’s still ethnic cleansing to cleanse Palestine of all the Palestinians.
