    It’s weird how you are okay with genocide against Palestinians, including all the classic hallmarks of genocide via settler colonialism (displacement, apartheid and blockade, massive civilian damage, etc) that we’ve seen countless times since the Native Americans, but if anyone says that’s wrong you immediately cry anti-Semitism. Israel is not the one in danger of being genocided here, they’re the ones perpetrating it. Even lots of Jewish people can see it. To mix up the colonial ethno-state of Israel with all Jewish people is real, deceptive purposeful propaganda.

      I’m not okay with genocide against the Palestinians (or anyone else), hence the “pro-genocide” in my post above. I’m not okay with anti-Semitism either. I’m also firmly in the camp of “criticizing Israel is not anti-Semitic”.

      Both Hamas and the IDF (by extension, the Israeli gov’t) are murderers or complicit in murder. Simple as that.

        Oh I agree on all points. Looks like I jumped to conclusions there. Think I got you and someone else I was arguing with at the same time confused. Sorry about that 😅🙏

            It’s pure hyperbole, but if more conversations could proceed like this one, fewer children would be dead.
