    USA’s bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki

    so WWII analogies are fine, but only wehn you use them to excuse genocide.

      Apparently you like WW2, so I’m trying to work with you here. The millions of people the USA killed in Japan do not constitute a genocide. And Japan agrees with us. War is war. A genocide is a well defined thing. A systematic erasure of a culture, a people. The closest thing to a genocide in Israel right now is West Bank IMO, with the settler issue which is causing displacements and whatever. But that’s not the Gaza situation you’re talking about.

        War is war.

        but what’s happening in gaza is not a war because gaza is a ghetto inside israel. it’s a genocide.

          Yeah. I’ll call it at this point. I’m not sure if there’s much usefulness to this discussion to me anymore. We’ve covered this topic already.

              Are you randomly going to contact me again in a few minutes? As I said, I try not to block people. But we can let this discussion die out if you want.

              But my inbox is remains open if you want to continue discussing. I just personally don’t want us going in circles. So if you’re serious about letting this discussion lie, I’m cool with it.
