Like at this point it's like pointing at a car and insisting it's just a carriage; you have literal members of the Israeli government at all levels going "we'll kill them all and drive out whatever remains", you have their news in Hebrew going "yes, we're killing them all and we'll burn them alive too", you have that SVist becoming an actual folk hero and being told on a talk show by the host that he admires him; all this and I haven't even mentioned the never ending testimonies from doctors who served there and the people who think ISIS have better morals than the IOF. There are literally no Palestinians there who are like 'nah bro, the IOF have been pretty chill actually'; oh wait no, that's not STRICTLY true, there was that guy the IOF filmed themselves giving water to, who after they were done having this human to human moment caught on camera shot him in the back and left him for his granddaughter to find.
I'm watching a Zeteo segment where Mehdi is arguing with someone about what's happening in Gaza being a genocide and like.....it is almost October 2025, enough already! I feel like I'm in the damn twilight zone! The Israeli population THEMSELVES will explain to you why they'll shoot kids too!
How are we still on this?!
Back when the oil for food program was instated against Iraq during the sanctions, the human rights coordinator to Baghdad quit his job so he could criticize it as a genocide; his replacement ALSO quit saying this was genocide; what was the UN's utterly worthless response? To quibble on the term 'genocide'!
I genuinely wish people like Mehdi and others would just make it a point on their shows that they're no longer humoring this 'it's not genocide' nonsense; enough already!
It might be a useful tactic if you ever run into one of these people is to ask what difference it makes if it was "just" a sparkling ethnic cleansing and totally not a genocide. Don't let liberals fight you on word definitions — redirect it back to the reality on the ground and the hundreds of thousands of children who have been martyred, and so many more whose humanity is being denied
Ethnic cleansing is genocide though! Liberals just have this idea that if it isn't a complete extermination program then its not Real Genocide™.
Yes of course, but my point is that informing someone this is probably only worthwhile if they actually believe it's an ethnic cleansing and that they think that's a bad thing.
If not, it's far better to sharpen the contradictions. Do you know what the death toll is at right now? How many of them are equal to one Charlie Kirk's life? Do you really think October 7 justified that kind of response? Why do you think October 7 happened at all? Do you think Israel was doing something to force this to happen eventually?
