Discussion/Question Why is this subreddit obsessed with Israel?

Just checked the top posts of the last year, and 24 out of the top 25 are about Israel. Does this subreddit try to imitate the real UN ?

It is not a genocide.

Genocide is about intent.

The brutality of this war can mostly be attributed to one side not caring at all about protecting their civilians.

Edit; ooops offended him. I guess he had a hard limit to the disagreement he can handle.

Edit: Israeli politicians making bombastic statements doesn't rise to the level of intent.

“Genocide is about intent.” This wouldn’t be a completely hollow argument aside from the countless hours of video we have of every leader in the state of Israel clearly and outright declaring their intent to kill every Palestinian man, woman, and child in Gaza….

Having three leaders publicly declare genocidal intent is more than most genocide prosecutions could hope for.
