So we should all stand to the side and applaud while Israel commits genocide? Look at them go, self-determining, so proud!
Look at what you’re writing, really fucking look at it, and tell me you’re not supporting a fucking genocide.
"In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:
Killing members of the group;
Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group."
So ANY of the above listed acts qualify as genocide. You only need ONE to qualify.
Israel has gone 5 for 5:
Killing members of the group Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group
“The area in Gaza which Israel’s military has told people to go to “for their safety” has been hit by 97 strikes since May, BBC Verify analysis has revealed”
"The Israeli Defense Forces issued the guidance Friday, telling all civilians in north Gaza to evacuate to areas south of Wadi Gaza “for your own safety and the safety of your families” as the IDF continues “to operate significantly in Gaza City and make extensive efforts to avoid harming civilians.”
However, some Palestinians who followed the evacuation warnings and fled their homes in search of safety suffered the very fate they were running from: Israeli airstrikes killed them outside of the evacuation zone."
Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group
“With the decimation of Gaza’s healthcare system and significant restrictions on the work of aid agencies, pregnant women and new mothers have not had access to the basic health and nutrition requirements as per international standards, said Save the Children. This has caused severe mental and physical harm to many of the mothers and their babies, with some taking extreme measures to try to protect their unborn children.”
“Three organisations tracking the detention of children in the occupied Palestinian territory said they have gathered child testimonies – seen by Save the Children - showing that levels of violence have increased since stricter rules were introduced in October blocking visits from parents or lawyers. Some children have reported broken bones and beatings.”
"More than 38,000 Palestinian children have been orphaned by Israel’s genocidal war on the Gaza Strip since October 2023, a Health Ministry official said on Thursday.
“At least 13,901 women were also widowed by the war,” Zaher al-Wahidi told Anadolu.
The Palestinian official explained that some 32,151 children lost their fathers, 4,417 lost their mothers, and 1,918 lost both parents."
“An international non-profit organization has evacuated 68 children without parental care as well as 11 employees and their families from Rafah, in southern Gaza, to the Israeli-occupied West Bank.”
Cool, glad you think that way. I do have to say though… that’s not how any of your comments (that I have read) in this thread have come off…
The way you came off sounded very much like:
Zionism is Self-Determination for the Jewish people, and speaking out against the way it has been contorted to the ends of extermination of another people who have lived there for hundreds or thousands of years after they agreed to carve out a piece of their country and often welcomed and helped them, is 10000% antisemitism and you should be ashamed.
And then also look at the way the Israeli government treats non-white Jews. Ethiopian Jews are treated almost as badly as Arab “citizens.” So don’t tell me that Zionism is respectable, or that it should be upheld. Or that it’s antisemitism to say that using Zionism as an excuse for an ethnostate is disgusting and a play by play reproduction of what was done by the Nazis, a perpetuation of abuse and trauma that will continue forever if it’s not stopped and stomped out.
It’s not my fault, you’re unable to read and only carry hate and prejudice in your heart.
extermination of another people
Is just a lie. There’s nothing close to extermination of Palestinians going on. Compare the number of dead to wars in Syria, Sudan, Azerbaijan, Yemen, Iraq.
Are too many Palestinians dying, yes. However, as has been demonstrated just now, Hama could have gotten a ceasefire at any time. They just don’t give a shit about Palestinian deaths.
then also look at the way the Israeli government treats non-white Jews
Check out how black Gazans are treated, that live in Abeed (Arabic for Slave).
Ethiopian Jews are doing pretty well in Israel.
Zionism as an excuse for an ethnostate is disgusting and a play by play reproduction of what was done by the Nazi
You don’t seem to have any understanding of what the Nazis did, what Zionism is, or what Israel‘s actual policies are. What you’re writing is at least holocaust relativism, which is antisemitic. You should be ashamed.

Get fucked.
I don’t support the current war on Gaza and support peace. A Palestinian state alongside Israel is the most viable solution still.
Israel doesn’t and never will.
Genocide. It’s a genocide. Calling it less is apologia/

I know you like.
It is nothing but genocide and you love it for that reason.
Article II of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide defines it like this: https://www.un.org/en/genocide-prevention/definition
"In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:
Killing members of the group;
Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group."
