  • For starters… it’s in bad faith to use the dead as a crutch to support an argument with someone online. Especially when it cannot be proven if it’s even true. It muddies waters and distracts from the point. Which clearly has been your intention all along.

    So I will say this, and then not speak any more on the subject.

    If you do have friend that are victims of this war, then you shouldn’t be using them as reasons why you are right about your point and others are wrong in discussions with people that are irrelevant to you and them. It’s disrespectful.

    If you DON’T have friends that were victims of this war, then you are a shameful and disgraceful person and I pity you.

















  • That’s just war. It’s horrific, and disgusting what’s being done there- but It’s the same as what’s happening in Ukraine, and the same that’s happened in any country that’s ever been invaded in the history of this planet. Why are you not crying about the genocide in Ukraine? Do you place your hand on your heart in remembrance of the great genocide in Vietnam? What about the genocide during the Falklands War? It’s war- It’s gross…

    But not everything is genocide.

    Look, I get that it’s a fun little catchy sound-bite you love to toss around, and sure… it makes it look like you know what you’re talking about… but everyone that actually knows what’s going on- is subscribed to reality, and has payed attention since graduating high school, knows that what is happening in Palestine is not- by definition…. Genocide.

    For the record- the U.N. hasn’t even declared it genocide, but a bunch of random people on the internet get to say it is because …… reasons?

    Israel is attacking Gaza because of territorial displacement. This shit goes back to the late 19th century man. It’s incredibly nuanced. But again… NOT GENOCIDE.

    And while I fully understand that there’s no chance in hell I’m changing your mind, maybe this response will serve as a fresh and logical take to anyone still riding the fence that might be reading along.
