Fair point. I should have said “no worse” rather than “no different.” I agree that Saudi Arabia is a more destructive force than Cuba by far.

Yep. It is genocide. By definition.

It’s a metaphorical gun, dumbass. Clearly, I mean there can be two shooters or two problems. Jesus Christ, are you that fucking dumb?

NEBE wants to completely ignore the fact that the IDF were allies of the Phalanges militia, and that the IDF ordered the Phalanges to clear PLO forces out of the camps, after the PLO had been evacuated out of Beirut by the Multinational Force. The IDF and Phalanges were just waiting for the PLO evacuation before going…

“No,” Israel didn’t forcibly concentrate Palestinians in Gaza? “No,” Israel doesn’t routinely bomb Gaza? “No,” that doesn’t count as genocide?

Sure, and the show runners doubly, triply so. The took all the worst elements of the book and doubled down on them as hard they possibly could, then stripped out everything that worked in the book like character, plot, and setting in favor of exploitation.

Again, their only alternative is to be slowly slaughtered by Israeli expansion. You don’t mind Palestinian death as long as it’s not happening on your TV.

If Israel’s goal is deterrence it sure as fuck isn’t working, is it? Maybe they need to look into alternatives other than “kill civilians and keep taking their land”. 

I know , they should just give up and accept the people who took their land and actively block aid getting to them.

A two-state solution?

it is genocide tho. it’s state sanctioned violence against the Palestinians.

ok but Israel forced the Palestinians into a ghetto and routinely bomb it, so maybe it is genocide?

Or maybe the Jews should not blockade them and steal their land.

And maybe Bibi should stop authorizing the building of settlements. 

I don’t need a lesson from you on what happened at Sabra and Shatila. The U.N. didn’t just decide on a whim to declare that Israel had committed genocide, and the Israelis did a lot more than just stand by and do nothing. Not only did they actively aid and abet the phalangists in doing so, they trained the phalangist…

Over-responding to small skirmishes was also the excuse American settlers used to justify the slaughter of Native American tribes...

Maybe, just definitely, Hamas did want Israel to retaliate, which was exactly the point. What’s your advice for the millions of people there who have nothing to do with Hamas, just want to live in peace, and cannot leave?

Tell that to the U.N. Commission on the Sabra-Shatila massacre that found that Israel had committed “a type of genocide.” That one goes back to 1982 so the Israelis have been at this for awhile now.

Maybe Israel shouldn’t have evicted Palestinian families from their homes in occupied East Jerusalem in clear violation of international law. When Israel has removed all legal recourse for the Palestinians to defend themselves what else can they do? The point of the rockets is to be a deterrent, but in order for a…

Seeing as the alternative is being slowly ground into dust, I really can’t fault Hamas for shaking things up once in a while.
