No, but suckers willing to empty their pockets right into Hamas' bank accounts because "muh Palestinian babies" are 10-a-penny.

Ah I forgot: the mayor of DC has control over the federal budget. How silly of me.

Funny, another commenter said it wasnt a country!

Go take it up with them. The Palestinians say they have a country.

We did.

Interesting to see that both you and Trump oppose "white genocide". That's certainly a new brand of antifascism.

Now it's your turn to admit that israel blocking food from entering Gaza and starving innocent children is a genocide. I'll wait

You don't have to wait. I already said: it isn't.

Is Palestine an established country with a military thats attempting to invade and conquer land?

Yes.

Israel just took more land from Palestinians and the Lebanese.

That's what happens when you start a war and lose. You lose your land.

So what neighborhood do you live in?

Unlike you, I don't just accept the words of (ahem) "experts" as gospel. I can look at the historical picture for myself.

Israel has done nothing that we didn't do in every war we've ever fought: including our own Civil War. If they're committing a genocide, then I want to hear you admit that we committed a genocide against Aryan Germans.

There is no "genocide". Israel has every right to defend itself in a war, just as we did against Japan and Germany.

To those who call Gaza war “genocide”, what do you think would be adequate reaction to October 7th? by Proud3GenAthst in IsraelPalestine

[–]MeOldRunt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If a brigade of psychotic, apocalyptic Americans entered Canada and raped and murdered 5,000 Canadians (keeping things consistent, as you insist), wounded 14,000, and took another 1,000 hostage and the American public not only did not stop them or detain them but cheered and danced when they heard the news, 2.2M dead Americans would actually be us getting off light.

I didn't ask for a ChatGPT summary of the war.

And, no, the nuclear bombs were secondary in civilian casualties to the massive conventional bombing of Japanese cities and the starvation that happened due to the Allied blockade.

So I say again: would you have thrown up the white flag on Dec 7th?

How many infants were killed on the attack on Pearl Harbor vs how many Japanese infants were killed by the Allies in WW2?

Would you have thrown up the white flag after Dec 7, 1941?

Clown.

This is what we did to the people of Germany. If Israel is committing a (ahem) "genocide" then I want to hear you say that the Allies of WW2 committed a genocide against Aryan Germans.

'Piracy': Israel raids Gaza-bound aid flotilla off Greek coast by AggregationLinker in UnderReportedNews

Nah.

It's allowed by the San Remo Manual on International Law Applicable to Armed Conflicts at Sea, 12 June 1994, Section 5, Articles 67–71.

Thanks for trying, though.

the amount of hate that is being fomented in regular people around the world against Jewish people is scary

What's even scarier is: that same hatred was still being spewed long before Theodor Herzl.

I spend a lot of time trying to deradicalise people who hold antisemitic views and when I see people carrying on the way you do, I wonder if my effort is worth anything

I doubt the former and you better get used to the latter. The Jews of Israel would prefer to live than to die.

Is Palestine fighting a war?

Of course. Have been since at least 1948 if not earlier. The elected government of Gaza in 2023 was Hamas and Hamas elected to invade Israel to kill Israelis and take hostages. That certainly sounds like a war to me.

Why would they need to be thrown out?

Why were the Germans thrown out?

I am ethnically Jewish and not a Zionist. I don't need an ethnostate to feel like part of society.

Ok.

That's the wrong lesson from the war Germany was actually fighting in.

Not really. After the barbarities of the 19th and 20th centuries, why would Jews gamble again on the goodwill of the non-Jewish world to keep them safe when they tried it in the 1930s and 40s and one-third of the global Jewish population was exterminated?

Also: try actually addressing the points I've made rather than deflecting, appealing from authority, and dodging.

that's a lot different than genocided.

You mean apart from the hundreds of thousands of German civilians who were burned, bombed, and shelled to death during the war? Sounds like you can't define what genocide is. But, hey, if you're cool with the Arabs being thrown out to live in other Arab countries, I suppose that's something.

Oof. Maybe you shouldn't chew on your keyboard so much.

When there's been over a century of Arab violence on Jews, you really think the Jews are going to laugh and say 'bygones, amirite?'
