Libs will say things like "Isreal asked them to move so it's not genocide!!" which is basically exactly what many of them say about what happened in the US when the US "asked" the people who were already here to "move".
Just got banned from mastodon.world for “hate.” Apparently, pointing out that Israel is genocidal is hate.
their mods: 🤡🤡🤡
At least here the worst I've seen is the "both sides" bs
Lemmy.world gave me an instance ban for pointing to a fellow mod advocating for literal nazi policies and violence, asking for his removal. No anger, no rhetoric, just "here's a link to this guy calling for violence and fascism, can we remove him?"
The ICC has broader definitions than this one, among which is the forceful displacement of a large and explicitly targeted group of people. Which this is, and that's disregarding the intense amounts of violence the Israelis are subjecting the Gazans to.
USA's history resumed in one word
"USA" is a synonym
The deliberate and systematic destruction of a ... political ... group
So the US GOP is trying to genocide themselves?
Sooo are you one of the people who will then in the same breath deny that this is also the goal of Hamas?
Actually, yes. Throw the word "terrorist" around as much and as ignorantly as you want, but the extremism of groups like Hamas has its roots in the decades of zionism running rampant and killing thousands of their people every year.
No one (sane) is defending the Hamas, merely noting that when your counter terror operation has managed to kill more innocents than the terrorists maybe you should stop and rethink your operation a little bit. If some people break into your house and hold you at gunpoint while they fire a rpg that gets shot down by an active defense system, i don’t think that you’ll be very happy the the governments only response is to blow up your house a half hour after they’ve left.
Clearly both sides want the other wholly and completely gone. That is, the extremist leaders. I'm sure the viewpoints across the general public varies wildly on both sides and is fed by their own internal propaganda.
My question is, why do any of us outside that region care? If you are not from that region, or do not have some kind of ties to that region, then why should anyone care so much what they do to each other? And I don't care about religion. "Oh its a religious area so Christians care or something." That doesn't justify meddling over there.
