    It does not qualify as genocide and you’d have to be an idiot to believe any article that suggests it does.

    However, it sounds worse if you pretend it is, and that’s all you care about anyway.

    In a couple of months when there are still Palestinians in Gaza, I’ll be reminding you of this conversation.

      You say that, but, I’m going to go ahead and listen to my training in international relations and law, the well-reasoned arguments based on established legal definitions, and a first-hand witnessing of the evidence in favor of the conclusion, instead of you.

        I mean you can believe whatever you want, because it isn’t changing anything, but I don’t think the couple undergrad courses you took makes you better-equipped than the experts and historians who informed my worldview.

        So long as you don’t do something crazy like attack random innocent Jews at your next protest, I don’t give a shit about your opinion. I will argue against it online, though. You don’t seem particularly violent so we’re just ships in the night here.
