There is no genocide. It’s just a war.
Emily Schrader - אמילי שריידר امیلی شریدر
There is no genocide in Gaza. If Israel wanted to ethnically cleanse the entirety of Gaza, they could, in a very short time. Genocide requires intent — as a policy, not individual actions. That simply does not exist. You cannot claim that Israel, which has the military ability to eliminate Gaza and all its residents, is committing “genocide” when they have been carrying out precise attacks on Hamas targets embedded in civilian infrastructure for 20 months, with what Hamas claims is 50k total casualties out of a population of 2 million. Even with errors, that’s simply not genocide and claiming otherwise is buying in to an active and aggressive propaganda campaign being spearheaded mostly online to target naive Westerners. The idiots spouting buzzwords they heard on TikTok like genocide and famine without understanding what those words actually constitute, are, knowingly or not, part of the groupthink which enables terrorist organisations like Hamas to stay in power over the Gazan people. These people who mischaracterise a legal, defensive war as “genocide” advocate policies that perpetuate conflict rather than resolve it, and frequently demonise those who are innovative with diplomatic solutions. it reminds me of the fools who opposed the Abraham Accords because “there won’t be regional peace without the Israeli-Palestinian conflict being solved first.” They were wrong then, and they’re wrong now. For 20 months these imbeciles of the free Palestine cult have advocated for the same policies that lead to death and destruction instead of thinking critically and saying, ‘Oh this isn’t working. Let’s try something else…’ maybe we should demand the release of the hostages and demand Hamas surrender so Israelis and Gazans can have a better future?! The fact that the obvious isn’t obvious shows you the scale of this subversion campaign against Israel that’s been taking place since October 7 — before the state of Israel ever responded to the savage attacks of Hamas.
