This person regularly engages in insidious faux-intellectual Islamaphobia and then hides behind a “hurr durr I also think Netanyahu bad, why do you love hamas so much” when pressed at all. Every single time I’ve seen them call out a specific user for antisemitism it’s been them conflating anti Zionism with antisemitism. It’s simultaneously excusing genocide and watering down antisemitism to being a meaningless term.
If you want to argue that a genocide isn’t happening, you’re free to call any University’s Holocaust & Genocide studies faculty and get your ass handed to you. I’m not going to try to have an argument with the Lemmy equivalent of an alt-right clip chimp.
Hey now, I never argued it’s not occurring. It ticks most boxes in the Ten Stages of Genocide (although most of which has been self-imposed by Gaza’s actions, like ruining their relations with Egypt and the whole Kill Jews thing).

It’s blatant, embarassing, and morally bankrupt.
More than 2600 children dead and thousands more civilians. But scum like him still live.
Sorry, but I hear genocide thrown around a lot, and I’m curious as to why
In short because the Israeli state wants to completely kill or displace the Palestinian population.
I’ll let an Israeli Holocaust historian make the case instead of me.
But Gaza wants to do the same to Israel.
So what now? is it who genocides who first?
I shouldn’t have given you the benefit of the doubt and tried to engage in good faith, my bad.
Oh, come on now. I countered your point, so now I’m arguing in bad faith? Not a good look on you, dude.
