    That’s great pal, but the eradication of an entire culture kind of requires them to be eradicated rather than forced to move a few miles north and live in the same state they did before. Ukraine isn’t a genocide, for example.

      The genocidal intent and tactics are clear

      Waiting until a genocide is complete before calling it such goes against the entire reason the definition exists in the first place

          Is that a joke?

          How does a Zeteo article showing exactly which genocidal tactics Israel has been using is Gaza for years are now also being used in Lebanon considered “downplaying Israel’s crimes” in anyway. If anything, you are the one downplaying Israel’s crimes in Lebanon.

            The people of Gaza are the victims of Israel, like with Lebanon, but the people of Gaza are also the victims of the IRGC and Hezbollah and it’s completely shameless to pretend Israel’s atrocity in Gaza is just a normal offensive. The Palestinians have nowhere to go and no allies, not even the smallest chance of defending themselves, not even access to food and water, so it’s very clearly not the same.

              yeah no, that’s a bunch of Zionist bullshit

              the IRGC and Hezbollah are not the ones committing genocide, nor are they the ones assisting Israel in any way, just the opposite. Shifting the blame to them is false and only serves Israeli hasbara.

              In Israel’s own words, both the Gaza offensive and Lebanon offensive are both genocidal

                Just noticed I’m talking to a fucking Leninist, no wonder you’re so full of shit.

                People like you Tankies hoping to rile up radicals, you make Israel look better instead of worse.
