Comment on ABC pulls interview with Palestine advocate from website and iview
Zagorath@aussie.zone 4 weeks agoOh damn. I thought you were a reasonable person with different views until this comment. It took you an impressively long time to come out with the explicit genocide denial.
I’m surprised Beehaw of all places allows genocide denial, tbh.

Do you really need to resort to name calling and bullying? There are reasonable arguments to be had.
You call it genocide but I do not accept your redefinition of the word. Do you call Russia’s war on Ukraine genocide? Russia targets purely civilian towns with drones and missiles (unlike Gaza situation) but it isn’t genocide. I can acknowledge that despite being pro-Ukraine.

I’m not really interested in anything you, a random Lemming, have to say about whether or not it’s a genocide. And you shouldn’t be interested in anything I say either.
What you should be interested in is the growing scholarly consensus. Organisations like the United Nations Special Committee into the matter, Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, and the International Court of Justice have all stated either that it definitely is or plausibly could be genocide. Academic researchers into genocide are “surprisingly unanimous”, with only a small number of zionists denying it at this point.
As for “name calling and bullying”. If you deny genocide, then stating that you are a genocider is neither of those things. It is a simple fact.

On the contrary, Ireland has been trying to get the official definition of genocide changed so that it can match what is happening in Gaza but cannot get enough countries on board.

I don’t know how you can possibly think that is relevant
