It's almost like each movement should be judged by its own merits
Yes, do we have cause to be against genocide or don’t we? This one is tough. I mean the merits of genocide are obvious but there are drawbacks, too. Those pesky academics can’t see the bigger picture.
Or, generally when students and academics at the world’s top universities start protesting, shit is fucked.
If you're going to define your movement as anti-genocidal you should really have a firm grasp on what genocide is and who is committing it:
Hamas, what Israel has been clear they intend to destroy, is not a national, ethnical, racial or religious group. However, Jews/Israel/Israelis, what Hamas has been clear they intend to destroy, are. Therefore, legally Oct 7 was an act of genocide, and Israel's war on Hamas is not. Such a designation has nothing to do with body count.
I support Israel because I oppose the genocidal. Binding their hands and preventing them from retaliating in self-defense only serves to support genocidal Hamas by keeping them in power.
its always frightening to come across people who rationalize the mass killing of women and children. frightening to see the endorsement of racist policies and religious fanaticism. Israelis speak candidly to reporter about Palestinians.
Racism and collateral damage exist, therefore Israel shouldn't be able to defend themselves or retaliate against a genocidal foe? What's frightening is such reasoning.
