    Says a country is carpet bombing population centers of another country that has been oppressed by the carpet bombers for decades

    “Not totally sure this is appropriate to call genocide”

    Genocide, noun: the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group.

    I dunno, maybe they’re not trying to destroy Palestine or kill Palestinians indiscriminately, they’ve only been stealing the land for decades and killing them without cause for as long, but surely Israel hasn’t stolen THAT much land

    See, Palestinians still have SOME places to live

    Fucking clown-ass, wanna-be leftists.

      The siege of Leningrad was genocide. I despise the monopolization of accurate words for political purposes. The people who are scared of “free parking” signs should not be dictating to reasonable people what words mean, but here we are.
