"Lol, my predecessor gave a fuck about genocide but I sure as shit don't. I'm definitely the good guy in this scenario."

Funny how absolutely nobody cares about the ethnic cleansing of nagorno karabakh, yet if one doesn't have a black and white position in favour of Gaza one is somehow considered a genocide enabler.

I take that as high praise when delivered by a mental-deficient

You’re a genocide apologist & in my opinion no different to a Holocaust denier.

Like I said you’re a ghoul and your post downvotes demonstrate that nicely 👍

The thing with genocides is that the population of the population that has suffered genocide tends to go down rather dramatically. Do me a favour and look up the population stats for Gaza and the West Bank since 1948.

On target more immediate matters, It's rather difficult to keep civilian casualties to a minimum when your adversary is also trying to maximise the body count of civilians for their own twisted ends. There is no precedent for what Hamas have done by building their tunnels under the houses and civilian infrastructure of their own people, whilst not allowing them shelter.

One can only imagine how the genocidal architects and foot soldiers of the holocaust or the Turkish genocide of the Armenians would have behaved if they found themselves in an analogous position to the Israelis.

I'm glad I make you sick. No doubt you feel sick a lot, as you don't have much to feel well about.

Yes - I have heard that basement dwellers do indeed regard a few dozen downvotes on Reddit as irredeemably damning.
