    People who talk about genocide usually agree with the whole river to the sea thing which is literal genocide.

    For anyone else reading who is unfamiliar: “from the river to the sea, we will be free” is a slogan used by many Palestinians that refers to their desire to have a single Palestinian state with no Jews at all. It is a call to violence.

    If you’re just reading the propaganda and think there’s a literal genocide going on, go ahead and read about the Armenian genocide. Then compare the actions, and how many have passed. Israel sometimes has incredibly oppressive policies, but they are far from a genocide and raising that accusation is particularly hurtful given the Jewish people’s history of the Holocaust.

      Keep going off on random unrelated talking points. If you support the Israeli governments actions and Netanyahu, you are a supporter of genocide.

      The whole world agrees that Israel is committing genocide and that Netanyahu is making decisions that are just putting Israeli civilians further into harms way.

      If you don’t think leveling whole neighborhoods full of civilians is genocide then you don’t get to participate in the conversation anymore. Bye bye little boy. Grow up.
