Calling for Palestinian freedom is not genocide.
Israeli apartheid policy is genocide.
Israel is not apartheid, and it’s obviously not committing genocide. Hamas is for genocide.
Clarify your position on this statement you dodged:
The Israeli army bombing refugees is genocide.
They are bombing Hamas terrorists, their enemy, not refugees. You must remember that Hamas fighters and civilians look exactly the same, and they deliberately lurk among the civilians. This is obviously not genocide.
I’ll give you a hint in form of a question that may lead you towards the truth: What happens to the amount of population in a genocide?
Your argument boils down to:
This is “we had to destroy the village to save it” levels of madness.
Consider the question, dude. What happens to the population in a genocide?
I’m guessing you’re gonna say that there is no genocide if not all or most of the people are killed, because then their people have survived. But, genocide also incorporates cultural genocide. Today the day definitions are one and the same. Destroying someone’s culture and history also qualities, like during slavery.
The methods employed in genocide includes the methods of colonialism, persecution, subversion and the destructions of farms, Mosques, churches, hospitals, libraries, monuments, etc. Anything to persecute, harass and destroy someone.
Take for instance “the gypsies”. A people in diaspora from a nation state that doesn’t exist, roaming Europe forever, with no land to call their own.
That’s the fate the Israeli state wants for Palestine. It is still technically genocide.
No, I’m saying that population doesn’t grow during a genocide.
But… Palestinian Arabs are >20% of the population of Israel. You’re making absolutely no sense.
I was hoping we weren’t going to have to put up with this propaganda crapola off Reddit. Oh well.
It’s especially disappointing given the mission statement of beehaw. You know, the one they require every user to read when signing up and write a statement about?
Zionists call anything short of unconditional support for Israel and it’s far right government an anti-semetic call for genocide of Jews. It’s propaganda.
I know in one case this is a bs slant. The person said its abhorrant but measures would only be taken if action was taken. IE the speech will not be silenced by the university but actually violence will not be allowed.
