Contrary to the consensus opinion, losing a war one started is not genocide. For any doubts you can use comparables for civilian deaths in various theatres of war throughout history.
- richardfeynman 10mo agoOf course it's not and never was a genocide. But jimbo808 wishes it were, because he thinks that will help him justify the very rise in hate crimes against Jews that he also tries to downplay. jimbo808 wrote: "The most generous stat you could use would be the one from 2023-2024, which has Jews as 16%... which came along with the genocide being committed in their name." What kind of worldview motivates such a comment? He invents a genocide and says it's being committed in the name of American Jews? This is a novel claim even by the low standards of the antizionist crowd. Laughable.

- jimbo808 10mo agoDon’t take my word for it, but you might want to consider some of these notable organizations that have identified it as a genocide: Amnesty International Human Rights Watch International Association of Genocide Scholars UN Human Rights Office And even some Israeli organizations, such as: B’Tselem Physicians for Human Rights Israel

- dragonwriter 10mo ago> Contrary to the consensus opinion, losing a war one started is not genocide. Genocide often is carried out in the context of war, and certainly it isn't harder for the winning side of a war to do so.
- richardfeynman 10mo agoHe's saying Hamas lost a war, that's all that happened. You're making an unrelated point, which is that genocide is often carried out in the context of war. That may be true, but that doesn't make the hoax that Israel's war against Hamas was a genocide any less false.
- dragonwriter 10mo agoIsrael's war against Hamas was not a genocide. (Nor was it a distinct war, but merely part of the much longer war against the Palestinian people.) Israel's war against Hamas was part of a campaign of genocide against the Palestinian people that has been conducted through much of that longer war, a campaign that it started decades before Hamas existed (and fostered the creation of Hamas, during the more intense period of its occupation of Gaza, as a tactic to facilitate through both dividing its opposition and making it less internationally sympathetic, as the primary constraint on the campaign has always been international, and particular US, tolerance.)
- richardfeynman 10mo agoA series of unsupported claims.
- jimbo808 10mo agoWait so the children of Gaza started a losing war and therefore must be genocided?
- richardfeynman 10mo agoNever happened.
