    We wouldn’t be having this conversation if it were an unmitigated genocide because every Palestinian would already be dead.

    I submit that the Holocaust happened even though there are still Jewish people.

    Israel, courtesy of the US, has enough firepower to wipe out the West Bank and Gaza several times over. Yet it never happens. Why?

    You seem so disappointed.

      The Holocaust was not a territorial dispute. Completely different situation. Also I would not call it an unmitigated genocide. It was mitigated by the efforts of the allied forces.

        territorial dispute

        Holy fuck. This is now the most disgusting mealy-mouthed euphemism for genocide I’ve ever seen. Shame on you.

          Sadly, territorial disputes can result in genocide, as we have seen in this case.

          It’s also interesting to see how quickly (in less than a generation) the victims of a genocide can become perpetrators of one. It says something, quite demoralizing, about humanity.

            How nice of you to finally admit that it’s a genocide.
