    I don’t think I understand your comment. You think it’s hard to side against genocide? Because that’s what most of us are doing here.

      He’s an enlightened centrist, ignore him. The fact that people think hamas (which are bad, of course) are as bad as the IDF is actually insane.

      On a rational level, we all need to oppose killing of civilians and children

      He’s right on this point but the rest of his comment is just bothsiding a genocide.

      Sorry you had to deal with these types of people in this thread.

      الله يوفقك يا صاحبي

      And is it working?

      Point being, the whole “genocide” thing is useless because people don’t care. No one thinks they’re committing a genocide. If you went to Nazi Germany, they’d tell you the holocaust is not a genocide, it’s a security measure or something like that. Just like you probably don’t look at Oct. 7 as a genocide. It’s the same thing. We’re all human, we’re all easily tricked into being monsters.

        You’re mixing up what people say and what they think. Biden and Blinken both denied the war crimes and the genocide, and we have evidence that they knew what it was. Nazi Germany might have spread propaganda about security, but they DEFINITELY knew they were exterminating entire “races”. Maybe not the randos in the streets, but anyone operating in a camp or the government.

        Propaganda is not what these people actually believe, it’s the tool they use to give cowards plausible deniability. Those participating actively, and those not stopping it.

        Yes, there are people who are in fact monsters.
