    What is the evidence for a genocide? There are a proportionately 150 times fewer civilian casualties than in the US war in Iraq. 0.004% of all Palestinian people.

    I support a two state solution and thought it was possible, maybe naively, until October 7.

    I’m not looking for the moral high ground. I’m looking at it from the standpoint that people have to live in organized societies and people need to lead those places.

    Certainly Israel has the capability right now to carpet bomb all of Gaza and all of the West Bank into a pile of small rocks.

    If it’s a genocide, why aren’t they?

      1 in a 100 people sounds like fucking genocide.

      If the Israeli gov. wanted a 2 state solution they could have had it sometime in the 1970’s

        Okay well that was 50 years ago, and the kind of thinking that got us here in the first place. What’s the way forward?

        1 in 100 is genocide? Genocide involves the intent to totally eliminate a people.

        You’re saying that’s Israels intent and goal, right?

        Why, in your view, are they failing so spectacularly at that?

        They have absolute air superiority in the region and could annihilate every structure in Gaza within twenty minutes, I have no doubt.

        Why is the daily death toll trending downward with only 1% deceased? Shouldn’t Israel be getting more efficient at killing civilians if genocide is their intent?
