Hamas: actually tries a genocide, to kill as many civilians as possible Israel: responds with a heavy hand, but obviously not intentionally murdering civilians
Lets be realistic, if Israel wanted to, they could commit an actual genocide, and essentially kill nearly all Palestinians, its within their capabilities.
Hamas wishes they could do the same, but they can't, so they get a pass? The fact that people can't see that very obvious distinction, and call what Israel is doing a genocide is alarming.
I'm going to ignore your bad faith argument that what Hamas did in any way compares in scale to what Israel is doing and try to argue on your level.
If Israel was more immediate with it's long term plans then it would just lead to war with the neighboring nations. Imaging swatting a wasp nest inside of a room built out of wasp nests. It's a really stupid plan that doesn't benefit anybody. What Israel is doing currently is already walking the knife's edge on the maximum amount of harm they can get away with.
Eastern propaganda: Jews deserve to be eliminated so its OK that they are being bombarded daily by terrorists while ordinary citizens are being held hostage
Only one side wants genocide. Only one side benefits from dead Palestinian civilians.
US bases are being attacked now constantly, where is the outcry from the world for people to stop attacking Americans? Just because we have the ability to defend ourselves, its OK for people to shoot at us?
2023: Totally cool and normal for people to want to kill Jews and Americans now apparently.
I feel like this is a real selfawarewolves moment.
