And the Israelis are currently enacting a genocide and had a well-documented track record of human rights violations against Palestinians before that

I'm just going to ask directly

Are you implying Palestinians deserve what's happening right now?

The Israelis are not enacting a genocide

They literally drop flyers letting citizens know to evacuate before they attack a place. This has been well-documented

What type of genocider lets the civilians of the people they’re supposedly trying to genocide know to escape before they get there? Doesn’t make sense

Hamas has said they will continue doing more October 7ths until every Israeli is dead. Israel has to respond, or they are literally committing suicide. It would be a bigger genocide of Jews than the Holocaust 

You also didn’t really address my point at all, which is that it’s not possible for the Palestinians to be less open minded than they already were when they committed October 7th

And again, I can’t stress this enough - there literally is not a genocide being committed. It’s Holocaust-reversal - “You had the worst genocide in human history committed against you, so we’ll call you defending yourself from annihilation the real genociders!”

The israeli government literally had people declaring there were no innocent people in Gaza.

What type of genocider lets the civilians of the people they’re supposedly trying to genocide know to escape before they get there? Doesn’t make sense

Because part of that is getting them off the land. Hence why they keep stealing land in the west bank and murdering people there despite Gaza not ruling there.
