Ah yes, the two states of existence, genocide, and not-genocide. That's why the genocide, which has been going on for near two-decades now, is no more urgent today than it was in September of last year.
Pug I usually respect your takes, but this isn’t one of them.
For nearly a century it’s been a state of apartheid, the genocide in earnest started after oct. The UN and many other institutions have raised huge concerns over it.
It feels like you’re just trying to downplay what Palestinians are actively going through under Biden to push on the angle of Trump being worse. Honestly it reeks of genocide denial, which I suspect wasn’t your intent.
"Palestinians are being genocided, but that doesn't mean that the genocide can't happen faster or in a more bloody manner"
"I think you're just trying to downplay what Palestinians are going through under Biden"
???
No. It really didn't start in October.
Yes, they have, and rightfully so. The escalation of the genocide to where it is now is a major atrocity, beyond where the genocide was before.
Don't be fooled for a single fucking second that this is as bad as it gets.
Can we at least call it Super Genocide?
