  • You call everyone who does not fully support your view a “genocide denier” and “disgusting”? Comon… Is this your argument?

    Yes, after the horrific attack on Israeli civilians, many politicians were emotional and understandably so, I might add. But yes, there are obviously some right wingers in the Israeli government who might commit a genocide or at least ethnic cleansing. I don’t deny that. But the most important part of the government does not have the intention for genocide.

    The IDF warns civilians in gaza before attacks, has field hospitals, hospital ships and even let’s in humanitarian aid to gaza, even when a big majority in the population of Israel is against such aid. How does this fit with it this narrative of genocide.

    Like I said: Words matter here. There are war crimes in this war, which is bad enough, but genocide is the worst crime in international law, and the word gets thrown around like it’s nothing. This trivializes the whole debate…

    This claim, which is older than the war in gaza is a way to demonize Israel.
