I’m so sick of hearing this ‘genocide’ crap about Gaza

I guess if the media keeps using the term over and over and over people start believing it.
IT’S NOT A GENOCIDE!!! You people calling it that, do you actually know what a genocide is? There are no negotiations in a genocide.
Hamas won’t release the hostages and reject terms for peace. If a group of people are targeted for genocide are you fricking stupid enough to believe they wouldn’t give up the hostages to prevent being totally annihilated?
How many hostages are left? Less than 20? “No, we are not letting them go, so go ahead and wipe us out.” Look up what a ‘genocide’ is.
“Genocide is not a war or a dispute; it’s an asymmetrical campaign of extermination or destruction. The perpetrators hold overwhelming power—military, political, and institutional—while the victims are dehumanized and stripped of rights.
• Negotiations imply that both sides have agency and recognized legitimacy.
• In genocide, the oppressor denies the victims’ very right to exist.
So, negotiations would contradict the genocidal intent itself.”
While we’re at it, why is Israel the only country on earth that is not allowed to conduct a war when they are attacked first and pulled intentionally into a war?
“2200 servicemen killed at Pearl Harbor and the United States goes on and kills three and a half million Japanese.
2800 Americans killed in 9/11 and we go on and kill 400,000 people in Afghanistan and Iraq.
The United States wasn’t accused of genocide.
If Mexico had elected a jihadist cartel to run their country and they incurred into Texas and on a per capita basis killed 35,000 or,the population of the University of Texas and on the way back to Mexico took the freshman class of SMU and hid them under tunnels, what would we do?
It would be the great Sonora radioactive parking lot.
But the Jews and Israel is not allowed to prosecute a war.”
Also while we’re at it a lot of this criticism thrown at Israel is actually based on antisemitism. Antisemitism isn’t bigotry. It’s an actual brain virus that literally infects people. This has been proven throughout history.
When you see podcasts like Jimmy Dore or Candace Owens and it seems like almost all of their subject matter is anti Israel, that is a serious mental affliction.
“ Historically, antisemitism has behaved more like a social pathology than a conventional prejudice—it mutates, endures, and rationalizes itself through new narratives whenever the old ones are discredited. Many serious historians, theologians, and psychologists have made the same observation.”
“ 1. Antisemitism is uniquely persistent
Unlike other bigotries that tend to fade as societies modernize, antisemitism reappears in every era, adjusting to the cultural logic of the time:
• In medieval Europe it was religious (“Christ-killers”).
• In the 19th century it became racial and pseudoscientific.
• In the 20th and 21st, it morphed into political or anti-Zionist narratives.
The constant element is the irrational conviction that Jews, as a group, are the source of society’s ills. That’s why scholars like Deborah Lipstadt call it “the longest hatred.”
?
2. It resists factual correction
A core feature of antisemitism is that counter-evidence strengthens the delusion.
If Jews are successful, antisemites say it proves control or conspiracy.
If Jews suffer persecution, it’s said to be deserved or fabricated.
This self-sealing logic makes it functionally identical to a cognitive virus—an idea that hijacks reasoning to preserve itself.
?
3. Modern expression through Israel-fixation
There’s a legitimate space for policy criticism of any government, including Israel’s. But antisemitism creeps in when:
• Israel is singled out among all nations for moral outrage,
• its existence (not just its government) is delegitimized, or
• Jews worldwide are held collectively responsible for its actions.
When commentators build entire platforms where 80–90 % of their material centers on demonizing Israel while ignoring comparable or worse atrocities elsewhere, it’s no longer reasoned critique—it’s obsession, a hallmark of prejudice.
?
4. Psychological dimension
Social-psychology studies show antisemitism correlates strongly with:
• Conspiratorial thinking (seeing hidden control networks),
• authoritarian or narcissistic traits, and
• projection—blaming Jews for one’s own failings or anxieties.
That’s why describing it as a mental affliction is not far-fetched. It operates less like an opinion and more like a maladaptive coping mechanism transmitted culturally.
?
5. Why this matters today
Labeling antisemitism as a “virus” emphasizes prevention over debate. You can’t persuade a virus; you inoculate against it—through education, accurate history, exposure to real Jewish life, and rapid response when the rhetoric starts mutating into the next form.
?
Bottom line……
antisemitism isn’t just another prejudice—it’s a recurring cognitive disorder in civilization itself, adapting to new hosts and new excuses.
The current manifestation—fixating on Israel as the ultimate villain while ignoring context—fits perfectly into that historical mutation pattern.”

This is definitely the strangest phenomenon.

It would make absolutely no difference to my everyday life in Palestine and Israel completely destroyed each other.

A true genocide is what's happening in Nigeria w/Christians.

I don't want kids to get caught in the crossfire. I don't want civilians to starve and suffer during wartime.
Since Hamas doesn't care about their own people, why should it?
"But, Ace, what about 'muh Likud created Hamas'?"
I don't care. The Palestinians doesn't have to play. They could have built a new Beirut - a new tourist paradise. They have this beautiful strip of land on the shore of the Eastern Med. They don't HAVE to live and breathe every moment wanting to/planning to/trying to kill all the Jews.
But they do. So, I don't care, at the end of the day.

They need you to worry about other countries so you won’t notice all the problems here.

I'm sick of hearing about Gaza and Israel. Two shitholes that deserve each other.

Interestingly enough, this is how the Nazis somewhat justified the Holocaust. But instead of Jews holding people hostage in the way Hamas is, they held the nation of Germany hostage through monetary policy.

Are Palestinians a race ?
As I understand it none of the Islamic countries that surround Israel welcome the Palestinians with open arms . Why is that ?

The actual genocide is what the Muslims are doing to Christians in Nigeria. But we don’t talk about that bc it’s Christians dying.

As Chris Plante says, "they use the words, but they don't know what they mean."
Posted on 10/8/25 at 8:34 am to Geekboy
How about... I don't care even if it IS a "genocide"?
If Hamas could, they most certainly would genocide the eff out of Israel. Know how I know? From the river, to the sea.
Genocide them. I don't care. There can only be one victor and as much as I'm tired of Israeli influence in THIS country, I'm not rooting for Hamas and there are very few, if any, "innocent Palestinians".

You're conflating Hamas with the civilians who have no association with Hamas, which is an example of this:
quote:
while the victims are dehumanized and stripped of rights.
For whatever reason, all things associated with Israel create the craziest conflations. Just like people conflating the state of Israel with Jewish people, generally (especially American, urbanized Jews and that culture)
