    Does anyone decide against genocide when it suits them? There’s some irony in both Palestine and Israel supporters whining to the Democrats about not opposing the respective genocides hard enough while ignoring their Hamas and Netanyahu doing it to the other side. Take the log out of your own eye before complaining about the speck in the other’s.

    On a rational level, we all need to oppose killing of civilians and children. But man, it’s hard to convince people to care when the people you’re trying to save won’t help themselves.

      I don’t think I understand your comment. You think it’s hard to side against genocide? Because that’s what most of us are doing here.

        He’s an enlightened centrist, ignore him. The fact that people think hamas (which are bad, of course) are as bad as the IDF is actually insane.

        He’s right on this point but the rest of his comment is just bothsiding a genocide.

        Sorry you had to deal with these types of people in this thread.

        الله يوفقك يا صاحبي

        And is it working?

        Point being, the whole “genocide” thing is useless because people don’t care. No one thinks they’re committing a genocide. If you went to Nazi Germany, they’d tell you the holocaust is not a genocide, it’s a security measure or something like that. Just like you probably don’t look at Oct. 7 as a genocide. It’s the same thing. We’re all human, we’re all easily tricked into being monsters.
