  If you're going to define your movement as anti-genocidal you should really have a firm grasp on what genocide is and who is committing it:

  Article II of the Convention defines genocide as:

  ... any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:

  • (a) Killing members of the group;
  • (b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
  • (c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
  • (d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
  • (e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

  Hamas, what Israel has been clear they intend to destroy, is not a national, ethnical, racial or religious group. However, Jews/Israel/Israelis, what Hamas has been clear they intend to destroy, are. Therefore, legally Oct 7 was an act of genocide, and Israel's war on Hamas is not. Such a designation has nothing to do with body count.

  I support Israel because I oppose the genocidal. Binding their hands and preventing them from retaliating in self-defense only serves to support genocidal Hamas by keeping them in power.

      Because everyone who disagrees with you is a shill? Please.

        No, because Israel has clearly committed most acts on your neatly bulleted list and your condescending remarks make you look like an idiot demanding their opinions be facts.

        The problem is, there’s nothing to disagree about here. Killing children is bad. If you’re killing children, you’re bad. I’m not sure how much more simple the situation could be.

    Wow, the logic in the post is so non-existent I half expect you to make up dumb bullshit along the way

    Therefore, legally Oct 7 was an act of genocide, and Israel’s war on Hamas is not. Such a designation has nothing to do with body count.

    Exactly like claiming a single attack is genocide, but a sustained campaign of bombing homes, refugee camps, and evacuation corridors isn’t.

      Did you read the legal definition of genocide I posted above? Once again, the definition literally has nothing to do with body count. Call it a massacre, call it a slaughter, call it any number of terms for things you think are bad and don't like, but calling it a genocide is inaccurate, as I have shown above.

    its always frightening to cone across people who rationalize the mass killing of women and children. Israelis speak candidly to reporter about Palestinians.

      Racism and collateral damage exist, therefore Israel shouldn't be able to defend themselves against a genocidal foe? What's frightening is your reasoning.
