A nuke would delete Israel and its inhabitants - you can stop demonstrating how moronic your definition of genocide is now - my point is well and truly made.
Sigh here it is from the IDF leadership at the time among others... Again, why did Israel fund Hamas if not to create the pretext for the genocide they're now committing?
Brig. Gen. Yitzhak Segev, (Israeli military governor in Gaza in the early 1980s) telling a New York Times reporter that he had helped finance the Palestinian Islamist movement as a “counterweight” to the secularists and leftists of the Palestine Liberation Organization and the Fatah party, led by Yasser Arafat.
Unsurprisingly, Arafat also referred to Hamas as
Avner Cohen
Moving on...
You were the one to raise race - your definition of genocide is hyper-focused on it. I was demonstrating how stupid or dishonest you are.
Go re-read your dumb definition of genocide, then pick up a dictionary or the UN definition - I'm sure even you can figure out why this is a dumb thing for you to say.
They're trying to exterminate all Palestinians and making meaningful headway within the constraints of maintaining US support. Your defence isn't remotely plausible given what I've presented.
It's you and Israel fronting that position, but as bad as your racism is, it pales in comparison to you working this hard to defend a genocide, and painting the actions of the victims of that genocide as a genocide itself.
Making transparently dumb, dishonest claims you can't back? How refreshing.
I'm not sure if it'd be worse that you belive any of this, you're lying because you want the genocide, or if you're on the payroll, but if it's the latter, they're not getting their money's worth. Of course, denying an obvious genocide can't be easy - maybe just don't.
