What is the saying, you will know who has control over you because you are not allowed to criticize them.
Establishment drones will argue that a little known neo-Nazi originated this aphorism to undermine its significance.
It would be more accurate to say that the neo-Nazi kited the idea from the thoughts of more renowned thinkers.
Writers as diverse as George Orwell, Hannah Arendt, Karl Popper, and Albert Camus have expressed similar ideas about the relationship between criticism, power, and freedom.

Do yall care about Israel and all the money we spend there?”
“Not really”
I am utterly amazed at how quickly too many in the MAGA movement suddenly have no interest in anything.
Who cares about Endless War in the Middle East?
Who cares about Regime Change?
Who cares about Epstein?
Who cares about anything?

Genocide is always wrong
Sometimes there's not a choice or not a better option.
When the two possible outcomes are their genocide or our genocide.
It's just a word they made up to pin an ugly name on something that has been happening since man learned to sharpen sticks.

Who exactly is “our genocide” referring to?

Surely someone as smart as you understands the extermination of "us" or "them" regardless of how one might parse and define the two.

It doesn’t require extraordinary intelligence to recognize that you glossed over a critical question: Who exactly faces extermination in this scenario?
It further doesn’t require a Ph.D. to understand that the term “our” inherently implies a collective identity. Indeed, any reasonably bright kindergartner knows that “our” is a possessive pronoun that indicates ownership or belonging to a group that includes the speaker.
Your response completely ignores the significant detail of who is actually facing extermination here. Call it parsing a sentence if you so choose, yet the urgency of survival in an extinction versus survival scenario should compel us to clearly define the parties involved, rather than resorting to vague allusions of “us” or “them.”

I was wrong about you.
You imagined a specific scenario from "When the two possible outcomes are their genocide or our genocide". ?????
You're an idiot. Quit bothering me.

To the extent that I want a western-style democracy in the Middle East, yes. I love and respect and have many jewish friends whom I adore, but I don't want the U.S. to be dragged around by our nose cleaning up Israel's shite. And I don't agree with some who say that jews must preserve homeland just so if the shite hits the fan, they have a place to go "home". Either you identify as a citizen of the USA or Israel. You can't have it both ways just because you fear at some point you might be persecuted in the country in which you're currently living. I'm of Scottish heritage, but I shouldn't have immediate entry into Scotland should we (read: when we) devolve into civil war in the U.S. just because of my heritage. The level of hubris it takes to 1) think that way and 2) be surprised when people call you on out is astonishing.
