What IS nonsense is kids saying shit like “doing genocide.” It basically screams:
“Don’t ever take me seriously!”
How about you explain why you think that for once? Because Genocide and Holocaust Scholars disagree. The Military actions and rhetoric both show genocidal intent.
If you don't care to take genocide seriously, that's on you

Because the term “doing a genocide” is a childish misuse of grammar. It’s cringy as fuck and illustrates the fact that you shouldn’t be taken seriously.
So you're more upset about grammar than genocide? Weird
No one here is upset. But if you use cringy catch phrases to describe the grave tragedies and the horrendous treatment of people, just to sound edgy and current-
You have proven that you’re too immature to hold the discussion with any respect or humility.
No one “does a genocide.”
Just like 9/11 wasn’t terrorists “doing a plane crash.”
People never said that back then because they actually had reverence and compassion for the victims not to try and be edgy about it.
When it comes to the fact 'Israel is doing genocide,' you're the one that has hyperfixated on the verb 'doing.' I already changed it to 'comitting genocide' ok?
If you disagree with whether Israel is an Apartheid State or is currently committing genocide, in opposition to multiple human rights organizations, genocide scholars, and Holocaust Scholars, explain why. Otherwise, I don't see the point of this conversation.
If you have compassion for the victims, then you can contact your representatives, boycott with the BDS campaign, and spread awareness. Seems like you'd rather be pendantic instead, so it's hard to take you seriously
Sorry. But just can’t take anything you say seriously. Pandora’s Box can’t be closed here. I can’t un-know that you said that dumb shit.
Just do better in the future not to disrespect those in the situation by using kitschy and cringy catch phrases to illustrate their suffering. Genocide isn’t something to try and glam up with new terminology. It’s an atrocious act and should be taken seriously.
Now you can be retaliatory and come back at me with ad hominem, or you can move on having learned how to consciously behave in a more mature manner on the subject.
