So it looks like Trump has read the fascist playbook or something. I’m not surprised. I am concerned.

Edit: After thinking about it, I guess I am surprised that he can read.

  • Not everyone agrees it’s a genocide.

    If Israel wanted they have the weapons and ability to raze Gaza to the ground and kill everyone in it in a matter of weeks. But they haven’t done that.

      “If you do the genocide slow, it’s not really a genocide! Not everyone agrees that killing thousands of children of one particular ethnicity is a genocide, anyways. They should be thankful they’re not all dead already, because if Israel wanted them to be, they could do it. Really, only killing this many makes Israel the good guys here!”

          • It’s a pretty piss poor attempt at a genocide by Israel. They have the armaments and ability to have wiped out everyone in Gaza by now. If they wanted thew Palestinians genocided, they could have done it already.

              I think you are confused about the definition of genocide.

              It doesn’t mean to exterminate all people in an area.

              It means to kill large numbers of people based on their ethnicity or nationality, which Israel is doing. They not targeting Hamas, they’re targeting Palestinians, and they’re doing it in such a way to make Gaza uninhabitable. All the infra is being targeted. All the hospitals are being targeted. Over 40% of the housing units are destroyed already. It’s a genocide.
