So why are you trying to hijack the post and make it about something else …. now let me guess

If you track my comments back you’ll come to this:

Iran may have butchered its own Jewish citizens by then, but Israeli Jews will still be fighting back.

Off topic you say.

if you think a proper understanding means that genocide can only be committed against one set of people you'd be wrong..you'd also be wrong to think that ALL those opposed to and calling out genocide are Jew hating Neo Nazi's.

Thanks for your reply; firstly, I did not say, and do not for an instant believe that genocide can only be committed against one set, or demographic of people.

And I certainly don’t think ALL,(sic) or even many, incorrectly calling out genocide in Gaza are Neo Nazi’s. On the contrary, it is mostly left wing antisemite activists that have been doing so since 7 Oct 2023.

The purpose is mostly two fold; firstly to deflect from the appalling atrocities carried out by over 6,000 Palestinians on 7 Oct 2023, but it also serves to devalue the meaning of the word through constant incorrect repetition, and thus diminish its real meaning.

Approximately six million Jews were murdered by the Nazi regime and its collaborators during the Holocaust; this systematic, state-sponsored genocide accounted for the deaths of nearly two-thirds of the European Jewish population at the time, and was a deliberate and planned genocide in the true meaning of the word.

This is the comment you made that I was calling out for being off topic.

“The Israeli genocide in Gaza makes a lie out of ‘never again’”

I have no interest whatsoever in scrolling back through any exchange you had that led you to make the comment, but I repeat again, it is off topic; your two-tier policing of comments that are off topic or otherwise has become farcical.

There is no Israeli genocide in Gaza, so not only is this a disgusting lie and Hamas propaganda, but it is also off topic.

The post is about: Israel Orders Mass Evacuations in Southern Lebanon

It really is a pointless endeavour , you can explain that it isn't a genocide, give figures and everything and in the very next thread they will be saying "Its genocide" again .

Their main aim seems to be to keep talking about it , the keep it top of the discussion .

Better just to scroll past and not enter into a disscusion with them .

Getting into discussion again gives them what they want , to keep talking about genocide and Gaza .

Better just to scroll on by .

That's a bit pessimistic.

With funding reduced to almost nothing by them. The Muslims will likely have already just walked in and butchered any Israeli Jews still silly enough to be around.

I will always reply to posts about butchering Jews. Those posts can't be ignored. I included the "Never Again is Now" graphic because the fact of Jews fighting back does seem to bother some people.

Everyone should be talking about it until the atrocities stop..they will never stop if they are ignored and swept under the carpet as some would like.

What do you call the appalling atrocities carried out in Gaza since October 7th ?

devaluing the word is denying that 70,000 Palestinians have been massacred

https://www.timesofisrael.com/idf-believes-70000-gazans-killed-in-war-as-claimed-by-hamas/

Along with doctors ,nurses, aid workers and a record number of journalists/reporters slaughtered while doing their job.

Not to mention the 9000 thousand (ish) Palestinian "hostages"

held without trial in Israeli prisons

including a large percentage of women and children.. or the reports of shooting Palestinians for sport with different parts of the body targeted per day..it goes on and on but some are so keen to sweep it all under the carpet and invoke things that happened 80 years ago

yes those same things are happening now to the Palestinians and the Lebanese and the Iranians and the Syrians and the Iraqis and if not stopped it will happen to the Egyptians and the Turks next.

It’s a pointless denial of reality.

But least you’ll have no recourse to the excuse ‘if only we had known’.

That keeps getting posted over and over again though and there's also a thread about it .

There's only a certain amount of times you can have the same discussion .

Next will be the other old favourites "Israel formed Hamas" and not forgetting "Israel bombed the King David hotel in 1947" "Philistines are the Palestinians" "Its a genocide"

Rather than getting swept under the carpet, its rammed down our throats every day

That's just your paranoia.

Which appears to be off the charts. 🙂

Typical left wing student campus slogan sensationalism; the Palestinians in Gaza have not been massacred, they are the victims of a war that they and their representative government started.

And if the figure of 70,000 is accurate, how many of them were Hamas terrorists, and how many were, apart from the children, innocent victims; does the figure include the 2,200 “innocent” Gazans that took part in the 7 Oct massacre ?

How does anyone know which Palestinians in Gaza are Hamas and which are not; they only wore uniforms for hostage release ceremonies, otherwise they simply blended in with other civilians, apart from when they wore the uniforms of paramedics, doctors, UNRWA staff of other aid workers as a disguise.

Saying that 70,000 Palestinians have been massacred without context or analytical breakdown, and trying to align it with the word genocide, is just inaccurate sensationalism.

But well done for hijacking the thread to make it about Gaza, when the topic is  “Israel Orders Mass Evacuations in Southern Lebanon”
