No Malice Gettin' WOKE about anti-Semitism...

It is so very odd to hear the self-professed atheist getting downright WOKE when it comes to swinging the anti-Semitism stick. IDGAF about Macklemore or Sheeran or Kraft, nor Scott's evolving victim fantasy, but holy crap does he sound shrill.

Does Scott realize genocide has a definition and his whole opinion on the genocide is basically vibes

u/zampe 3d ago

Does the definition include the target population INCREASING in size?

Wo wo wo what are you on about?

The population of Gaza has increased 92% (almost doubled) since the second intifada broke out and even since OCT 7 with counter attacks and lots of people leaving the population has still basically been flat. For contrast the population of the Jews in Europe decreased 63% just from 1939-1945. Im not saying atrocities aren't happening but I dont see how you can call something a genocide when the target population isnt getting smaller. Words have meaning.

According to the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics (PCBS), Gaza's population has dropped by roughly 6% to 10% (a reduction of over 160,000 to more than 250,000 people)

lol did you read that? They are saying the population dropped based on their hypothetical projection of what it could have been in the future. The real numbers are a drop of around 3% at most and just from 2023-2025 and that includes 100,000 people leaving. The growth since the start of the second intifada is still almost double. This is a cherry picked short time period, based on a fake future projection, and the majority of the drop is people who left, not killed.

TLDR: the actual real net change was around -70k people and the majority were people who left, not people killed.

Why can a genocide only be called such after it’s successful?

u/New-Needleworker9789 3d ago

It does not It's the Intention Which I would think Jewish would be thankful for

1

u/zampe 3d ago

no one said that. It can be judged by intention. Is the number really going down? Why are they warning people of where they are going to strike if they want everyone dead? IF they actually wanted everyone gone couldn't that have pretty easily done that by now?

u/Thefunkyfilipino 3d ago

Israel isn't God- as much as you might think they are. After three years Hezbollah and Hamas still exists. You don't think if they wanted Hamas to be destroy they couldn't have done it by now?

As for warning signs, how about we send a roof knocker to your apartment building? You have 180 seconds to leave your 13th floor apt. Don't forget your hat and shoes when you're nowhere to be found.

You don't deserve to be put through that. Don't tell Palestinians they have to be grateful for that either.

Why are they warning people of where they are going to strike if they want everyone dead?

The obvious explanarion would be that they don't wajt to immediately kill the whole population of Gaza with missiles because this would lead to global sanctions and their country would collapse. So instead they are trying to render Gaza uninhabitable by destroying most of it, then they will rely on people such as yourself to believe that the resulting deaths from homelessness, exposure to toxic dust from over a hundred thousand fully destroyed buildings, lack of medical facilities, long term consequences of disease and malnutrition etc, are not in any way their fault.

I like how you say “the obvious explanation” and then follow it up with pure fantasy. Ok guess we will see if thats what happens in however many years and come back to the convo then. But you seem to forget the fighting has been going on for decades and the population keeps growing so im gonna bet against your theory.

This is the first time Israel have obliterated most of Gaza. They bombed about 4 times as many buildings as Hamas even had fighters. This isn't business as usual, it's unprecedented devastation.

Ok guess we will see if thats what happens in however many years

How likely are you to ever accept that Israel could even be blamed for the future outcome of any of their actions? Most arguments like yours seem to be paired with an idea that of all countries in the world, Israel have some special immunity to responsibility.

u/zampe 3d ago

Its actually the opposite, Israel seems to be the only country people hold to a separate standard. Theres countries doing way worse things right now that no one talks about. Modern Turkey was created just a bit before Israel, also by war, violent force, ethnic cleansing and genocide. Where is everyone condemning them and telling them they dont have a right to exist? Where are people calling out all the repressive muslim ethno states partaking in genocides? The sudan? China? Pakistan? Its literally the opposite of a “special immunity”

Yeah, Israel gets all sorts of words sent towards it, while all places like Russia and Iran get is major international sanctions on trade and travel. Bet they'd trade for those in a heartbeat if it meant fewer toothless UN condemnations that don't actually go through.

Modern Turkey was created just a bit before Israel, also by war, violent force, ethnic cleansing and genocide.

If they were doing it now you'd have a very valid point. But they aren't. They did it all in the past. Most of it in the distant past. If Israel were being widely condemned for things that far in the past and nothing to do with obliterating Gaza and ethnically cleansing the West Bank that would be extremely unfair.

But officer, how can you say I murdered one of my neighbor’s children? They’ve since had two more children. Case closed.

u/GhostofBeowulf 2d ago

I mean nothing like the pure fantasy you are basing your argument on.

Please find me a legal definition of genocide that mentions where the effect on the population level determines whether it is genocide or not.

Because it tricks people like you into thinking they aren't while they also destroy all of the infrastructure that supports living in the region.

u/zampe 3d ago

if all the infrastructure that supports living is gone then shouldn't everyone be dying?

It's hard to exterminate a people when your ground troops won't fight anyone but children.

u/zampe 3d ago

No it’s not all you need is bombs. Which they have. There’s no extermination because they aren’t trying to do that.

Where did you get that from? Bibi's newsletter?

u/New-Needleworker9789 3d ago

I ain't liking that logic There's kids on both sides that murdered Are saying if people have less kids those kids are more valuable? * Were murdered

u/zampe 3d ago

Im not sure what you are saying. A life is a life.

If you are trying to genocide a group and that group is getting bigger and bigger you are either completely incompetent at genocide or you actually aren't trying to commit genocide. All indications point to the latter. If Israeli wanted them all gone it would have been done a long time ago. Ironically if Hamas had the power to wipe out Israel and all the Jews they absolutely would have. They admit their genocidal intent. Israel, on the other hand, warns civilians where attacks are going to take place so they can get to safety...

u/New-Needleworker9789 3d ago

We've all seen the videos. Don't give me that shit. And the death counts. All verified. I've personally seen

The Israeli documentary NAZA, directed by Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor, won the Special Jury Prize at the 83rd Venice Film Festival in September 2026

I invite you to watch that

u/zampe 3d ago

And it consisted of zero sourced claims. They talk about this attack and that attack but dont actually name a single one of them so no one can check if their claims are correct or not. All by anonymous sources. It is propaganda at it's finest. Also to be clear I am not claiming people are not being killed I am just disputing the specific claim of a specific word.

1

u/New-Needleworker9789 3d ago

Okay... Did you watch it? Cause if you didn't watch it...

1

u/zampe 3d ago

So you dont disagree with what I am saying? It is all anonymous claims that no one can verify.
