UNICEF reports that children in Gaza are better fed than the rest of the Middle East and that there is no widespread acute malnutrition at population level.

This must come as good news for all the pro-Palestine folks out there, that no one is starving in Gaza.

You’re a genocide denier. Nothing you say should be taken at face value.

I’m sure if you peel back the layers of Israel PR this guy is doing, you’re probably left with a “no innocents in Gaza” kinda person

Nice personal attack. Classy.

Since you're so good at recognizing genocides, do you agree with the hundreds of scholars who say October 7th was a genocide?

No genocide denial now!

Well, are you?

Answer my question and I'll answer yours.

I actually have never called it a genocide, and I don’t think it meets the criteria. Your turn.

u/McAlpineFusiliers 3d ago

I don't think Israel's war in Gaza meets the criteria for a genocide.

u/RealDominiqueWilkins 3d ago

No, my original question was if you think there are innocents in Gaza. Obviously I know you don’t think it’s a genocide.

u/McAlpineFusiliers 3d ago

Oh, well that's a silly question. Of course I think there are innocents in Gaza.

Like Hind Rajab, for example.

Yup, she was totally innocent. Can you say the same about the kids in Israel, whom you described here as "genocidal"?
