I think it's only acceptable to call for an 'end to genocide' in Palestine if one was doing that for Israel on October 8th.

Mostly, calls for 'end to genocide' on this issue are lefties 'acceptably' playing the anti-Semite card.

So you’re a deflecting genocide apologist. Gotcha.

Time to grow some sense, in addition to labia.

So are you all-anti-genocide or just half-anti-genocide? Curious.

I've never called for genocide in my life. You'd probably say the same, but the folks who ignored Oct 7 or worse, support Hamas, even as they bleat about the deaths in Gaza, are still *sometimes* pro-genocide.

The Global Council of Imams has condemned 10/7 so I guess your opponent here is more anti-Jew than that.

Oh good, at least there are some Palestinian supporters who aren’t complete anti-Semites. You won’t find many on college campuses.

Take your anti-Semites BS and shove it.

You’ve never called or genocide in your life; you just find ways to rationalize it by bringing up 10/7, or supporting Hamas, or some other nonsense. You probably opposed South African apartheid, but ignore the Israeli one.

“Israel isn’t responsible for the existence of western warmongering, western warmongering is responsible for the existence of Israel. If there wasn’t an Israel they’d just invent another excuse to sow violence and division in the middle east. Biden himself has acknowledged this, saying “Were there not an Israel the United States would have to invent an Israel to protect her interests in the region.””

I didn’t get past the first ridiculously biased paragraph with this article. Give me a f**king break.

Oh, we’re going to blame it on the West then? Rather than the violence inherent in one side, and the other side who became violent because the first side can’t just share the damn land with them?

I have said since college I’d like to hold a giant nuke over them and say, “You’ve got 24 hours to hammer out a lasting peace agreement or we turn the whole damn thing into a crater. No more Israel. No more Gaza.” I don’t advocate that in reality, of course….but it’s a nice fantasy.

Yes, we’re going to blame it on the West. This whole thing started by the real anti-Semites, in this case the British, wanting to banish the Jews from their island and dumping them in another.

It ain't Israel that is obstructing a peace deal. Going back to 1948 they have repeatedly agree to peace proposals. Those were routinely rejected by Arab governments until Sadat broke ranks (and was assassinated for it). With the coming of Trump and the Abraham accords you had a lot more movement by Arab governments. The whole thing has been put on ice since the war started which I suspect was the Iranian motive for inciting and funding Hamas.

Bullshit. The rejection of the ‘peace deals’ was based on the reality that they all codified the practice of stealing land and oppressing people.

The indigenous people there are the Jews . Arab invaders came later, mostly after the Jews had created an economy

Indians are not one people. They were constantly exterminating and ethnically cleansing each other before Europeans ever showed up and have continued doing so.

You deflect like a mofo. Europeans were constantly exterminating and ethnically cleansing each other, before they showed up.
