"Palestine" have declared themselves to be at war with Israel. Syria is at war with Israel since decades. Lebanon has been shooting rockets at Israel and preparing ground attacks. Yemen (or rather the Houtis) keep firing at Israel

Under 60 000 British died during the Bliz. 350 000 to 500 000 Germans died in allied bombing. Did the Germans become the good guys when the German civilian death toll exceeded the UK death toll? Or even just when US got involved since Germa

Even in nazi Germany a number of people tried to help the Jews. On Gaza: not a single that I am aware of have tried to help the hostages, not even the toddlers, despite promised financial rewards.

The point is a conflict that the victim can choose to end anytime they want isn't a genocide, no matter how UN tries to twist one of the legal definitions into something that can be interpretated as one.

Leaving Quatar aside, because seriously that puzzles everyone including me: what half a dozen countries are you referring to?

Historically you can look at Germany in 1944 and 1945 and get an idea about what people think is fair. Hope this helps.

That would be a valid point if they were guilty of "occupation and apartheid of Palestine" and the situation wasn't just a military administration of land that has been unclaimed since 1917 and the collapse of the Ottoman emp

The people at the Nova festival wasn't throwing rocks at police or military when they were abducted. Neither were they trying to smuggle bombs, slash throats, stab elderly or any of the other things Palestinian Arabs get locked up for.

There are videos. Not only collected by Israel but also by the wider OSINT community.

Obviously. And that is also what we see. When did IDF try to outdo the rape of Nanking? When did Hamas follow the laws of war ever so slightly?

Do you also suggest Jewish families get back land and businesses that they lost in countries in the region in the process? Because more Jews were squeezed into Israel than Arabs who were squeezed out. These Jews also lost everything. And un

So, do we owe Germany an apology after we obliterated it to stop the nazis? Or is it kind of logical that when you vote actual genocidal maniacs into power and cheer for them as they return from murder and rape, you hide the hostages they t

Let's not ignore the last 60-70 or even 1400 years. Israelis hit back hard. But they haven't been the ones to declare war on peaceful neighbors. It wasn't them who stood for thr München massacre or a number of plane hijacking

You don't see the difference between imprisoning people that attack you and taking care of them (mostly, exceptions sadly exist) and storming a music festival and houses to abduct completely innocent teenagers and even toddlers to use

It shouldn't be. But here we have UN and other twisting it to fit a situation that clearly weren't meant to be covered by it. Because if the war in Gaza can be called a genocide so can almost every single other major war! Also it

The crazy thing is we have to have a rebuttal over something so obviously false that a child can see it. For anyone who has studied genocide to any degree it is clear that this doesn't match anything that has previously been classified

Obviously, there are war crimes happening in Gaza—like in any war. But having followed a number of conflicts, I don’t see Israel conducting itself in a way that’s uniquely bad. What makes Gaza different is the opponent: one committed to tot

For some reason many Jewish communities seemed to love him a lot. It suspect you either have taken things out of context (or refer to someone else who did) or you are writing things that didn't happen.

Can we at least start with the facts about Goebbels? He was: - Pro–killing “undesirable” children (look up T4 or Tiergartenstraße 14) - Virulently anti-Jewish For starters, Charlie Kirk, for all his flaws, is the opposite on those two point
