    Genocide means the killing of an ethnicity. Arab birth rates in Israel are flourishing. Hence, Israel is doing a bad job at eradicating them.

      Are you aware of the fact that there are more Jewish people living on this planet than ever before? Do you really want to deny the Holocaust based on this fact?

        Well, yeah, their population recovered from an actual attempt at Genocide but that is decades ago, obviously.

      And that makes eradicating Palestine okay, apparently.

      Everybody relax! More similar-looking brown people we born nearby, so the hundreds killed just this month do not count.

        Israeli occupation of Gaza ended in 2005 and they had the opportunity of self-determination. Elections were held and terrorists won. Bra-fucking-vo. Attacks on Israel piled up so they had to build a fence around the Gaza Strip. All due to terrorist action. Why didn’t Palis oust Hamas by now?

          The Palestinians elected an organization that they considered less corrupt than the Fatah. An organization that had worked hard to win the hearts of Palestinians by doing a great job in education, healthcare, and feeding of Palestinians. For many years they could do that job so convincingly by the financial support of Israel and the US. And they committed acts of violence against Israel that many people considered terrorism. While other called it a fight for freedom of the Palestinians. They got elected but the West didn’t accept the outcome of that election. And Israel refused to negotiate with the new government. I think Israel loved that outcome, because they didn’t want to negotiate anyway. And while Israel requires a Palestinian government recognizing Israel’s right to exist before negotiating, it is doing everything it can to prevent the establishment of a viable Palestinian state.

            “Yeah, I’ll vote for the jihad guys who have openly sworn to annihilate Israel, that’ll bring prosperity and peace for my kids.”

          They blockaded Gaza.

          This is why there was swearing. I’m not allowed to just treat you like any normal person could face-to-face, when you do a terrible job of lying to them. Any label for your behavior might not be nice. But it’s still fucking bullshit, and I need to express that exasperation.

          Treating this garbage as a good-faith argument would be a lie. I refuse. You keep spitting irrelevant excuses that cover up control, bigotry, and violence. You need to fucking stop.

            Fascinating that people exist who consider this train of thought sound and consistent.

                Fascinating how I still got my degrees then. Either my Alma mater made a huge mistake granting me a doctorate or random people on the Internet are full of it.
