There are so many levels of irony here. mainly because when you criticize Israel you're told "separate the government from the people", but when it applies to Gaza people say "hamas has X% of support" or "x% supported the attack". want to guess what % of people in Israel support the destruction of Gaza? or the genocide of all Gazans? or the forced relocation of Gaza? can't have it both ways. just an observation.

I don't know anything about any of that. I am someone who is not terminally online and doesn't believe in this whole party thing where people blindly follow their party leaders because they're part of that party.

Here are some examples from recent years: Chinese people living in the US were being blamed for COVID, Russians living in US were being blamed for the Russia vs. US war. Now, Jews in the US are being blamed for the I vs. P war. It's idiotic.

You're right, no question about it.
This is why i also find it stupid that people want to exclude Israeli athletes from sporting events. Sport should always be nonpolitical and just be an example of how far we can push our limits, no matter what religion, sex or heritage we come from.
That being said when a country commits a genocide live on television and then decides to springle in some starvation there's obviously going to be strong reaction and sometimes that reaction is misplaced.
People have to remember that Israel is a country and critism against a country is not a critisism of religion.
We also have to remember that Hamas isn't just a random terror organization that suddenly flourished it has been borne out of an illegal 77 year occupation. Then it has been funded by the very Israeli government that now seeks to destroy it for the sole purpose of keeping a people divided so they could not call their own home, a home.

They did that to Russians in the recent Chopin Piano Competition. The Russian pianist is being name neutral country or xxx i remember. He couldn't put " From Russia"

Hamas is a crime against humanity committing organization and has to be dismantled.
Hamas is in the way of making peace, no matter how it came to be and what you think about Israel. You have to recognise that.

Both are probably bad. I say probably because none of us know the truth because all we get is false propaganda. I judge people as individuals able to make their own choices. If it was up to me I would ban MSM. Freedom of speech should not protect lying especially when so many people are susceptible to it and it leads to death.

One thing I will say. Many Americans like to say that if Putin takes over Ukraine he will dismantle the Ukrainian culture, but idk about that one. The sentiment from some family members that I spoke with that lived in Ukraine during the time it was part of Russia did not feel like their culture was being attacked. However, Putin wasn't the president back then so it's hard to say what would happen now. Either way, white Christians are being killed on both sides.

There is no Genocide.

So, October 7th wasn't a genocide either. What's with the hysterical reaction, then?

Not a genocide , but a crime against humanity.
