    This map will go down in the history books when they will speak about the Palestinian Genocide.

    Future generations will ask how we let that happen.

      The current generation isn’t asking lots of questions about Uigurs, Armenians, etc.

      So x for doubt

        America isn’t genociding Uyghurs though. Everyone thought the West was above this shit by now with all the decades of talk about equality.

        Now everyone has to come to terms that the West is stil on 1940’s Ubermensch genocide level of moral standards.

          America isn’t genociding anyone right now.

          Also, America has been rather ruthless in its external policies since WWII. See Vietnam for example.

          Also, the USA aren’t the entire West.

      The map looks very similar to others during the cold war (US supporting apartheid, a variety of dictatorships and colonial movements and genocidal regimes) yet, you don’t really see anyone asking how the US people let that happen.

      I would bet some amount of money that Palestinians will exist in that area in the year 2043. Hopefully, their state will not, at least in its current form. It’s obviously not a genocide.

        It’s most definitely absolutely a genocide even if they don’t kill every last Palestinian you fucking ghoul

            In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:

            1. Killing members of the group;
            2. Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
            3. Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
            4. Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
            5. Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

            That’s directly from the UNs genocide convention.

              So pretty much everything that happens in the area between the river and the sea is a genocide, including everything Hamas does. I think this dilutes the meaning of the word somewhat, and especially makes it practically impossible to condemn anybody of it in this particular conflict.
