“The horror unfolding in Gaza is unquestionably a genocide, and the full extent of that horror won’t be truly known until it comes to an end,” said one political analyst.
Joenicide.
Right? I mean, the Palestinians and the Israelis got along just fine before Biden got elected….
Yea, a thousand years of absolute peace and no bloodshed.
This thread certainly isn’t leveraging a genocide to push political agenda at all.
It always amazes me how US citizen think everyone here from the US. If I don’t live in the US, it doesn’t matter who is in office because the actions of “not stopping Israel” and “sending them unlimited support” is the same and should be blame on the person the citizen elected.
I think they have been pushed into this corner for 75 years. So, yes, I think they were willing to risk annihilation for a chance at freedom. But, that’s just my opinion.
Absolutely agree, October 7 wasn’t the start of this. I think no one could have thought that the world would back the Israelis like this in their genocide. Like, western countries always had their back and the west has done horrible things e.g. in Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan & Iraq.
Nevertheless I think it’s shocking to see that there are absolutely no red lines when it comes to Western geopolitical interests. You would think that there’d be at least some kind of basic sense of humanity, anything, but it simply doesn’t exist.
And also the freedom to change their charter:
While the 1988 Hamas Charterhad been widely criticized for its antisemitism, the 2017 document stated that Hamas’ fight was not with Jews as such because of their religion but with the Zionistproject.
So the Hamas health ministry numbers are not reliable after all.
Genocide in our time is worst than the one committed by Hitler since nowadays we know what is happening. Our response should be greater than Nuremberg trials of the Nazi.
It’s never good to compare one genocide to the other. If you did and applied consequence to it, the current situation in Gaza would come show up somewhere in the middle of all ongoing atrocities, behind Sudan and Yemen.
Instead, efforts should be made to stop all of these wars regardless of location and political ideology.
And it won’t even see something similar to Allies from the west and Soviets from the east converging to get rid of even just the “war” aspect of it, because the smallest-dick army in the world is sponsored by the biggest-bully army this time.
At the start of WWII nobody even knew what Hitler was doing to the Jews/gays/Romani/etc. let alone gave a shit; other countries were forced to fight only because the Axis kept attacking them.
Geopolitically speaking, invading a country to save an internal minority from genocide is just not a thing that happens.
How does Israel keep getting away with this?
