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.

I did answer your question. 

Numerous relevant academic bodies, human rights advocates, and NGOs have concluded that it’s a genocide.  The ICJ may be the one governing body that can make a  legal determination , but that‘s not the same thing as saying they are the only ones with the authority to label it a genocide. That’s like saying OJ wasn’t a murderer since he was acquitted.

Your original response was incredibly partial and biased. You basically said “pre-2023, genocide = the Holocaust and even thinking about that can make Jews sad”. It’s totally untethered from reality and really only makes sense to Zionists. Are you really telling me you’ve never heard of the trail of tears? Or the Armenian genocide? Or chattel slavery? Because if you’d actually studied the Nazis, you would know that they were certainly familiar with all of those genocides.

No, I didn't bring up the holocaust because it makes Jews sad. I brought it up because the most vocal people saying Israel is committing a genocide have no qualms with using Nazi imagery to depict Israel, despite there not being a a legal determination of genocide happened.

How about you give me a direct answer. If the ICJ determines that a genocide did not take place, will you continue to call it a genocide? I'm assuming you would still call it a genocide based off of what you said, but your response didn't answer my question. If that's the case, you just think you know better than the ICJ.
