    Who cares about being antisemitic?

    I’m a proud antisemite; I think Israel shouldn’t commit genocide.

    I am a huge sinophobe; I think uyghurs shouldn’t be “reeducated.”

    I fucking hate Canadians; first nations got screwed.

    I hate all Arabs and muslims; kashnoggi shouldn’t have been cut into pieces.

    I hate white people; we need to fix inequality.

    I’m a traitor to my country; I think it could be improved.

    I’m a devil worshipper; I like D&D.

        I would look up the definition of genocide. What hamas did was objectively bad, but not a genocide. What israel is doing is.

        Ignore Hamas. Read the infamous report from the US that was used by Israel as evidence they weren’t committing genocide. The report cleared Israel, and so it was used as a defense.

        But actually read the report.

        According to the US / Israel, they’re holding up food, making it difficult to access, making it get stuck in transit, making it get lost, making zero effort to facilitate / distribute, making it dangerous for people to solve it themselves, etc.

        But they never triggered the video game-like definition of genocide. They didn’t use god-like powers to absolutely withhold food. They didn’t declare “I’m doing a genocide.” Technically some people could eat sometimes, and some pencil pusher can’t change definitions on the fly, therefore no genocide.

          Hamas steals food from their citizens. Israel should not be responsible for providing aid to an area they are at war with, yet they do.
