    And that comparison is flawed, because there is a fundamental difference between a systematic effort to murder a population and a careless disregard for collateral damage during military operations.

    Both are shameful; only one is a genocide. If you broaden the meaning of genocide to refer to any war operation that fails to sufficiently protect civilians, you’ve suddenly labeled most of military history as genocidal.

    The bombing of Dresden was horrific, but it was not comparable to the literal Holocaust happening at the same time.

      Israel is systematically wiping out Palestinians. If you can’t see that, I can’t help you.

      The UN and all other organizations qualified to comment on the mateer have called it genocide.

        Indeed you can’t, because if that Israel’s aim, they’ve been doing an incredibly bad job given that the number of Palestinians has increased by a million in the last ten years.

        Whereas I don’t recall the Jewish population of Europe doubling during the second World War. But sure, these are basically the same thing.

          Israel practically showed intentions and plans to ethnically cleanse Palestinians from Gaza. On top of that, they actually did lots of masacres and a fucking Nakba to prove it.

          the days of “lol if Israel is doing genocide then why are there Palestinians left alive” are over, I’m afraid

          You would never dare say that against Jewish people. But somehow Palestinians are not human enough.

          Palestinians have kids, and people undergoing a genocide or war tend to have more kids to make up for the ones Israel kills. Get over it.
