        Not a bot, thanks tho. I DO think Israel is committing genocide by the way, but that’s a loaded term that not everyone agrees with, and anyways it only covers part of the conflict as a whole, which also includes an awful lot of Israeli civillians being killed. Sorry if that’s too much nuance for you guys.

            No it would be like calling WW2 “the holocaust”. Sure, it was genocide and sure it was terrible but it is just one part of the conflict as a whole

              What a bunch of bs. Zionists are the new nazis commiting genocide and palestinians like the jews are the one being genocided.

            That is such a lazy take. All Israeli citizens are fair game to be killed because they are “a vital part of IDF operations”… first of all that’s so vague it doesn’t even mean anything. Farmers were a vital part of US military operations in WW2 but that doesn’t mean they were a valid military target. So were nurses, diplomats, and lots of other people you’re not allowed to kill.

            Israel is a state recognized by like 90% of the UN (everyone except for the middle east), but because you personally don’t think they have a right to exist you are applying blanket amnesty to Hamas or anyone else that wants to kill Isrseli women and children.

              I was referring to the “civilians” living in “settlements” that keep stealing Palestinian land and killing Palestinian people, but feel free to misinterpret what I said to fit your narrative. We both know you aren’t here in good faith

                I promise you I am here in good faith.

                In context, saying you were only referring to colonists in settlements doesn’t really make sense, since I was talking about the Israel-Palestine conflict in general and the civilians who have died (most of whom have not been involved in any ilegal settlements)Also, it’s not like it’s a strawman argument - I have heard the argument that all Israelis are fair game many times here on Lemmy.
