Wasn't saying that. Was saying that being antisemite and condemning Israel's actions are two different things.

Yeah no. These two should be disconnected.

The blockade as you call it is genocide.

Egypt has a long history in that area - look it up. History is there.

I think the intent is there.

You cannot explain cutting off water and food supplies. You just can't. You don't cut off water without intent.

You don't box in civilians and destroy the only route they can take to get out of the region. It's not possible to do this without intent.

Vehemently disagreements can be healthy but not when people are fucking dying.

It's dumb af

What are you talking about? I know Jewish people that openly condemn the behavior of their gov. A person is good or bad depending on their actions - you cannot lump everyone together based on whatever characteristics you want and after that starting a genocide campaign.

The festival goes were just normal people like you and me that were trying to live and enjoy life. Same with the innocent people that are dying in Gaza.

You need to understand that people in Gaza are desperate. Israel is not going to do the right thing. They have been committing war crimes for 75 years. Hamas is not going to do the right thing.

IMHO there need to be an outside peace keeping mission to mitigate this. Anything else is going to end up with a blood bath.

We think it's bad now? Wait until it escalates and the whole region blows up. What will Israel do when gets attacked by Hezbollah? How will Iran and Egypt react to what they see as meddling in the middle east by western powers? Europe is already not playing nice with Israel. US is going to need to soften their stance (and they have started to do already).

Israel attacking Gaza and blocking food and water (ie genocide) is as dumb as Hamas attacking Israel in the first place. This is what happens when you put political interest in front of what is good for your own people.

I am highly distressed by the fact that people are fucking dying as we speak and everyone seems to have one weird trick without understanding any history and without factoring in the context in tge region.

Explain it to me you brainiac. Let's see if you can do mental gymnastics to justify what is happening.

Is wikipedia good enough for your Highness?

Genocide is the intentional destruction of a people[a] in whole or in part. In 1948, the United Nations Genocide Convention defined genocide as any of five "acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group". These five acts were: killing members of the group, causing them serious bodily or mental harm, imposing living conditions intended to destroy the group, preventing births, and forcibly transferring children out of the group. Victims are targeted because of their real or perceived membership of a group, not randomly.[1][2]

Killing members of a group? Check. Serious bodily or mental harm? Check. Living conditions intended to destroy the group? Fucking check.

ANY of these == genocide. ANY

How did Hamas get to be in power in Gaza? What about the people of Gaza? You don't hear anyone getting butthurt when people in Gaza arr routinely killed and starved to death. You don't hear it in the news.

Why would people in Gaza want to subject themselves to this death and destruction?

Pretending that somehow the lives of jewish people are more valuable that the lives of Palestinians is what makes you a hypocrite.

There are terrorists on both sides. It's easy for you to preach from your high horse. When was the last time you felt in danger of dying? What about the last time you didn't have clean water and food? Not being allowed to see your lover ones?

You fucking disconnected hypocrite.

This has been 75 years in the making. It was obvious a week ago, a year ago and a decade ago.

My guess is that IDF was not unprepared. They knew - politics took the wheel and they just ignored all the warnings.

If you think living with terrorists is bad you should think about a fucking county that has power hungry terrorist leadership. You Israel is a terrorist state and them killing civilians in Gaza is no different than what Hamas is doing. You can pretend it's something else but this is genocide.
