And Palestinian children. At their homes.

Then it's a ------- party. At least to a majority of Zionists it is.

Majority? Guess depends on who/what segment of people are polled.

"Sure. I'm guessing that the average day at the IAF headquarters starts by figuring out which targets contain the most amount of civilians."

The whole place contains civilians. It's one of the most densely populated areas on earth.

Did you have a point or do you just like naming cities you've killed civilians in?

Was the point civilians are being killed in Gaza and that's okay?

Was it also okay to kill civilians in Iraq for 9/11, even thought Iraq has nothing to do with 9/11?

You brought up Iraq so I figured it is supposed to be comparable in some way.

"We killed 100,000 in 3 hours in Tokyo."

I guess it's okay for Israel to nuke Rafah then. After all, we nuked Hiroshima.

And if IDF wants to rape whatever Palestinians they can find, that's okay too because our Soviet allies did that as they matched across Poland and Germany.

"No one called it genocide. Because it wasn't."

Okay. People are calling Gaza genocide.

"It's not "okay". It is however a possible consequence of starting a war."

True dat.

Israel had no choice but to start a war, because Iran is pulling Netanyahu's strings, isn't a very convincing argument against genocide.

Of course, Hamas could come out of their hidey-holes to fight or surrender and save the lives of all those 'civilians' who actively support their efforts and voted them into office in the hopes they would Kill All The Jews.

Or maybe Zionists could return to their ancestral homeland in Europe and stop squatting on Palestinian land under cover of IDF.

But, you know, Zionists from Europe think Eretz Yisrael was literally -- get this -- given to them by G-d, so good luck talking sensibly with someone waving a five thousand year old property deed in a reanimated dead language in your face.

Blusky, what's your opinion on Netanyahu who let about a thousand Israelis get murdered on Oct 7 and then killed another 200 more Israelis repelling the attackers he just let cross the wire without military reprisal for half a day.

This guy seems like a competent leader in a time of war to you?

"Gaza only makes the list from your link when games are played with the math to exclude population centers with less than 10m."

Gaza has a population around 2M. That's how the game is played.

Gaza will have a population of 0 if Netanyahu gets his way. But it won't be genocide, or maybe it will, whatever, these things happen in war.

"Two of the unusual characteristics of the Israeli v Islamic Terrorists War is the lengths Israel is willing to go to prevent civilian deaths while their enemy tries to kill as many civilians as possible."

That's not surprising. It's asymmetric as hell.

It's also not surprising in your preferred war of comparison.

Would you say we tried to kill as many civilians as possible when we firebombed Japan? I don't see how you could conclude we didn't try to kill as many civilians as possible.

But feel free to "Wow!" me, okay?

"the lengths Israel is willing to go to prevent civilian deaths"

Bring me up to speed on that, please.
Who has killed more enemy affiliated civilians since 1948:
Israel, or those attacking Israel.

"Your link lists seven genocides of the modern era. Why do you suppose they didn't include the Palestinians?"

Well, the cynical answer is it's a Jewish organization.

A better reason is the dust hasn't settled yet.

Genocide isn't always agreed upon. Turkey denies the Armenian genocide, for example. That's just how these things go.

"His arrogance and stupidity finally caught up to him. He's polling at 15%."

Yeah but he's getting the war of revenge for his brother's death he has always wanted.

And all he has to do was quietly prop up the Hamas terror regime to rule over an entire generation of Gazans!

You're nuts if you don't think genocide is in this man's wheelhouse.

"Who has intentionally killed"

Are you setting this up so that civilian deaths at the hands of IDF aren't intentional?

IDF indented to drop every bomb they've dropped. The civilians who died as a result were intentionally killed. Just like the civilians in Tokyo and Desden ere intentionally killed. That was your thesis a few posts ago, if I am smelling what you are stepping in.

I don't think we disagree much on things, Blusky. I think we just see them in a different way.

There is just one reason I hold Israel to a higher standard than Hamas, and it's that Israel was born of Western values, and ought to be leading by example. What happened in The Nabka was a politically suitable solution in 1848, but we were supposed to have moved beyond that after it happened to the Jews of Europe.

All the wrong things came out on top. Hitler couldn't rid Europe of the Jews; ironically Britain did. Dispossessing a half million Palestinians of their homes to create a land with no people for a people with no land was not a good approach to nation building.

The Jews don't fit in there and never will. That is the thing that has needed a Solution, and acknowledged by the fact that there are supposed to be Two of them, ever since the inception of the Problem.

So, that's why people keep saying genocide. Because Netanyahu has chosen war, and we all agree that genocide is a thing that happens in war.

Who has intentionally killed more totally unaffiliated, completely innocent civilians around the world since (insert arbitrary year)?
Israel or Islamic terrorists?

The terrorists will tell you the West is affiliated with Israel, which is undeniably true.

On the total Israel vs Islamic Terror body count, probably Islamic terror. They have a much wider theater of operation. And they've killed many Muslims, probably more Muslims than anyone else. You can kind of see why Netanyahu would choose these terrorists to further his political ambitions.

As for the Islamic terrorists, you think they would stop if we would just leave them alone?

"Ben-Gvir"

Now there's a reason people might be inclined to call this genocide. Well played sir!
