So it looks like Trump has read the fascist playbook or something. I’m not surprised. I am concerned.

Edit: After thinking about it, I guess I am surprised that he can read.

    “If you do the genocide slow, it’s not really a genocide! Not everyone agrees that killing thousands of children of one particular ethnicity is a genocide, anyways. They should be thankful they’re not all dead already, because if Israel wanted them to be, they could do it. Really, only killing this many makes Israel the good guys here!”

      So you just want Israel to let Hamas attack and kill them then? Because Hamas attacks from populated areas, any counter attacks will result in civilian casualties.

        Holy false dichotomies, Batman!

        “In order to prevent the genocide, Israel must commit the genocide!” BIG BRAIN!

          It’s a pretty piss poor attempt at a genocide by Israel. They have the armaments and ability to have wiped out everyone in Gaza by now. If they wanted thew Palestinians genocided, they could have done it already.

            I think you are confused about the definition of genocide.

            It doesn’t mean to exterminate all people in an area.

            It means to kill large numbers of people based on their ethnicity or nationality, which Israel is doing. They not targeting Hamas, they’re targeting Palestinians, and they’re doing it in such a way to make Gaza uninhabitable. All the infra is being targeted. All the hospitals are being targeted. Over 40% of the housing units are destroyed already. It’s a genocide.
