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.
