Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich says victory in Gaza will mean the enclave being "entirely destroyed," Palestinians leaving for other countries.
Fucking yes. I cannot believe we’re even having this argument. Nothing comes close.
Or the genocide starting in America of people with skin the same color as I have
I am absolutely not trying to downplay the barbarity and wanton cruelty of the Trump administration’s policies, but what we’ve seen so fardoesn’t match the definition. Extrajudicial disappearances and zero due process for perceived or actual migrants is not the same thing as genocide. There’s no forced sterilization, rote murder, mass displacement, or deliberate attempt to destroy a collective people. CECOT is an overseas concentration camp, not a death camp - yet.
Dude. I can name from memory the list of war crimes and genocidal acts that Russia has done, they’re on a speed run in their aggressive war of conquest. Bucha, Mariupol, perferdy, executing PoWs, torture, the kidnapped children being raised as Russian, deliberate bombing of civilians, Russification of the Donbas, chemical weapons use, the list goes on.
But the severity is not the same. Gazans can’t seek safety in western Ukraine, they have no missile defenses, they’re being deliberately starved to death as collective punishment, and are being kept inside a war zone by complete military encirclement and occupation.
? I’ve seen plenty of talk about the situation in Ukraine, Sudan and Kenia. Maybe your instance doesn’t federate with the instances where those discussions happen?
Palestine is a notable one because it’s perpetrated by our “ally” and it’s also very high in civilian casualties. And I really don’t say that to minimise any of the other atrocities going on.
Genocide is the ultimate crime huh?

It’s Trump, no matter who the dems put up you weren’t voting for them, you were voting against a rapist, pedophile traitor.

Dodged right around the mass graves?
The kidnapped children?
The destruction of culture through russification?

I don’t quite understand your argument here, all of those crimes fall under the umbrella term of genocide as well.
Yet the only ‘genocide’ lemmy will talk about is palestine.
The thread’s about netanyahu’s genocide, so his supporters are trying to deflect.
