No one is using that word lightly.

Yeah they are. First of all pals aren't a race, they are arabs and there are hundreds of millions of arbas.

Secondly the causality in this conflict are in no way 'genocidal' even if you were to consider pals a race. They've been given warning to flee the fighting, it's simply a term being used as propaganda, 'the genocide of children '...

Palestinians are Palestinians. They are an ethnicity where a large group shares religion, culture, and language.

And Israel is genocidal. It's ethnically cleansing a group of people for who they are.

[–] Dontcare@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They're not being killed because of who they are, they are being killed because they launched a war. They are 'genocidal' against Jews, it says openly in their charter.

You can look back at history and see Israel has been willing to live in peace with pals, offered numerous states, arabs live freely in Israel, pals have waged war against any Jewish presence in the land, they are genocidal.

Israel is giving notice before they attack to flea, the pals intentionally target civilians. Of course the people attacking civilians are going to lie about everything. It is the most pathetic and disgusting people

The 1 million Gazans under 18 launched a war? Get a grip.

"gen·o·cide [ˈjenəˌsīd] NOUN the deliberate killing or severe mistreatment of a large number of people from a particular national or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group."

Genocide has never been about race. Many of the historic genocides have been commited by people of the same race just another distant group in that race.

[–] Dontcare@discuss.tchncs.de -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So would you say the pals want to genocide Israel?

[–] PM_ME_FEET_PICS@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No. The Palestinians have not shown that they want to genocide the Isreali people.

Hamas does though.

[–] Dontcare@discuss.tchncs.de -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hamas is the elected gov of gaza, they have broad support, it is true that not everyone supports them and obviously they are coercive

So why doesn't the world unite against Hamas ?

[–] Reptorian@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 year ago

Last election was in 2006, and Gaza is essentially full of children. Like about 50% of them are not fully developed adults (25+).

I do agree that the world should unite against Hamas. Palestinians should be supported though.

Uh... I know this is too much for your brain to comprehend, but Arabs (the race) are only people from the Arab peninsula. Palestinians, along with Jordanians and the like, are Levantine, a completely different ethnic group.
