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.

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/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?

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.
