You didn't answer my question, and you are a dumbass. The "proof" you linked is just more baseless assertions, and none of them support the idea that any slogan calling for a free Palestine is actually coded language that actually refers to expelling all the Jews.
Really, it's just projection. The Israeli project is the expulsion of all Arabs from Gaza and the West Bank, and they've said it openly. To quote Yoav Gallant, "We are fighting human animals and we are acting accordingly... There will be no electricity, no food, no fuel, everything is closed." That quote encapsulates both statement of intent to commit genocide, as well as genocidal dehumanization. Yet it's always pro-Palestinian speech that's suppressed and criminalized - pro-Israel speech is not subjected to the same "actually, this means this" standard, despite how the Israeli state is both genocidal in intent and actively undertaking genocide.
I stopped reading after "dumbass". Good luck in your bullying bubble.
Rot in hell you Nazi freak
You do not question slogans historically used by groups (PLO, Hamas) calling for extermination of Jews from the Levant but I am the Nazi?
Do you always rely on bullying to get your way?
Just realized you're the same guy I replied to in a separate thread. Yes, you're the Nazi. You're carrying water for an ongoing genocide.
You don't think it is fair to call Holdomor Genocide but Gaza is.
You seem to change your definitions when it suits you.
Did Stalin say that Ukrainians are human animals who need to be exterminated? No, but Yoav Gallant said it about Palestinians. Ben Gvir and other MKs wear noose pins to show their support for execution of detainees, and it looks like the Iasraeli law for the mandatory execution of "terrorists", which in Israeli rhetoric includes kids who throw rocks at tanks, is going to be passed.
Israeli rhetoric is routinely ethnic supremacist and eliminationist. The entire Zionist project has been one of establishing a Jewish majority state in a Jewish minority country - first they expelled enough Palestinians in the Nakba to establish a comfortable Jewish majority state, and then they continued to expand said state through settlements, all the while expelling enough Palestinians to keep a majority. They continue to expand into the West Bank even as they've bombed Gaza to rubble and starved its people.
Your entire argument seems to come down to "well, if they didn't do it to Palestinians, the Palestinians would do it to the Israelis," That in itself is genocidal rhetoric.
Oct 6th situation was tenable as a starting point.
There needed to be international pressure on expanding settlements. Obama failed.
Hamas needed to stop its suicide and missile attacks. Oct 7 attack in particular was irresponsible.
The Jews are not leaving the Levant and neither are the Arabs. That is the starting point, whether one has grievances re the establishment of Israel or not.
Like we cannot expect "white" Australia to go pack up and leave. The indigenous community is not demanding that and they are not launching violent attacks.
