No folks. It ain’t happening. This is simply a talking point used by dumb, hysterical liberals to fool even dumber hysterical liberals. Here’s your common sense answer to the genocide claim. It would not take the IDF months, years or decades to wipe out the Gazans. it would literally take them weeks. Or days. It would be child’s play if it were actually happening. Nope. No genocide.
Feel better?
Does it make you feel better to make a stupid comment as a lame attempt to humiliate me because you’re all butt hurt because you know I’m right? How do you feel?
It’s probably not genocide. It is a slaughter though.
It’s missing intent. Genocide requires intent to exterminate a group of people.
Without that intent, it’s not genocide. The Holocaust wouldn’t be the Holocaust without Wannsee.
Correct. If Hamas would lay down their arms and commit to living in peace and harmony with their neighbors, the killing could stop today. One side wants peace, the other side wants every Jew on the planet exterminated. There’s your genocide.
If an enemy kills one of yours, the proper response would be to kill twenty of theirs. That’s called deterrent.
To be fair, the Israelis want surrender. From both Hamas and the Palestinian people as a whole.
They couldn’t care less what happens in Gaza as long as they stop shooting at Israelis.
It’s not that simple. The problem won’t be solved until the Palestinian issue is solved. Only way that happens is if the Palestinian people, as a whole, finally surrender.
It is that simple. No shooting at Israelis = no shooting at Gaza = no war. Problem solved. You could call that a surrender if you choose but it all means the same thing. An end to the war.
The war is only the current issue. The deep underlying issue is the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. And until that finally ends the fighting will never stop.
They both have legitimate grievances. They both have reason to hate each other. This has been going on since 1948 as an organized state and organized people (Israel and the Palestinians) and since 1936 when the long simmering animosity between Arabs and Jews erupted into warfare.
Until one side finally surrenders, which based on how things have turned out should be the Palestinians, it’ll never be over. Too much blood has been spilled on both sides for it to just stop for no reason. The Palestinians lost, and they need to accept that. But they’re stubborn. And way too proud.
Israel has no conflict with the Palestinians. None whatsoever. They have one demand. Don’t kill us. No other conflict exists. Israel has no grievance. They couldn’t care less about any surrender as long as the shooting stops.
Were it so easy. The Palestinians don’t feel that way.
Exactly. They don’t feel like they can live near Jews. Israel does not have a problem with peaceful Palestinians. Pretty uncomplicated.
Like I said, it’s not that simple. There are two different classes of Israeli Arabs. The 48 Arabs, who live pretty much the same as Israeli Jews with full citizenship and full rights. And then there are the post 67 Palestinian Israelis and the Palestinians who live in the territories. Who have clearly a second class of citizenship at best (the post 67 Arabs) or are essentially treated as stateless 5th columnists (the Palestinian Arabs living in the territories).
Like I’ve always said, I get why the Palestinians in the territories are upset. They live in a clearly unjust situation with no recourse. They don’t have their own state and Israel won’t formally annex the territories, which would put them under Israeli civil law. As it stands, those who live outside of Gaza and Area A in the West Bank live under Israeli military law. Which no one would like because it’s very arbitrary and at the whims of Israeli military officers, most of whom have ethnic issues with the a Palestinians as whole and don’t treat them with any semblance of dignity.
By the way, this isn’t an anti-Israeli screed. My main issue with the Palestinians is that they always try to go for strategies that makes everyone except blind progs hate them. Namely pulling ■■■■ like October 7th and fomenting terrorism. And they refuse to surrender and honor previous agreement. But I won’t let Israel off the hook either. Israel should have settled this in one way or another decades ago. No one in the Israeli establishment could ever make a call because they were afraid of the political consequences of any potential action. Basically they wanted their cake and to eat it too. That was always going to cause problems.
Frankly, the best thing that would have happened considering Palestinian stubbornness was to exile them to Jordan and for Israel to pay Jordan financial reparations for resettlement. Simple truth is that the 67 Arabs and the territorial Palestinians aren’t really compatible with Israel. But Israeli politicians thought they could just do military rule on the “occupied Territories” and everything would just work out. Which as all the Intifadas and stuff like Oct 7th has shown didn’t work out at all. Formal separation is the only strategy that will work. But no one wanted to make that call because of the international political ramifications.
I’m not sure any other country would have responded different after October 7th. If people want to hand out Darwin awards hand them out to the people who organized the event.
The problem is that the Palestinian issue can be summed up with “from the river to the sea.” How do you go about solving that?
…thanks in part to Hamas purposefully hiding under hospitals and schools, using the innocent to shield their evil so that who ever attacks them, will also hurt the innocent.
Technically you can’t solve it in a way that gives justice to both people. The winner get its it all the other surrenders and accepts it. With the way things have turned out, Israel won. If the Palestinians can’t accept that they should be forced to leave.
No one likes that solution. But it has been done before and it has worked. After WWII finally ended, Germans from the USSR, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, and Poland who had not evacuated in front of the Red Army’s advance were forced to leave and move into the smaller Germany. The Germans lost the war and there were consequences for that loss. Those Germans had been living in those places for centuries. But that was the most humane solution the people of the 40s could think of because the other people in those territories really hated Germans. Had the Germans remained, it would have been bad for them.
