    Consider this, this side made many genocides over the years, if genocides it the first time it wouldn’t have the chance to do to another, ans we would end up with only 2, ever heard of killing the killer?

    Edit: there’s obviously better solutions than genocides but the one the world is currently doing isn’t.

      This is the exact reasoning that Israel is using to justify their genocide in Gaza.

      It’s like people get 90% of the way towards “genocide is bad” and then add the asterisk “unless we do it.”

        There is a difference between Gaza and Israel, and I just happened to come across a comment I can copy & paste:

        "There is no such as a “civilian” in an occupying colony. Half the population in “israel” are military conscripts, and most of the other half are fascists and settlers just the same; there are very few people in the colony actually plotting/fighting against the state.

        By your logic, the Viet Cong, which used the same tactics (attacking villages, taking hostages, using tunnels and guerilla warfare) and had the same goals (driving out foreign occupiers and reuniting their country) as Hamas, and the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, which (regardless of its intentions and goals) resulted in the deaths of thousands of Jews at the hands of the nazis similar to how Palestinians are being killed by “israel” now after the Oct 7 assault, were “terrorists” (whatever that even means).

        Hamas is currently the largest Palestinian armed resistance group (and was even directly elected by the people of Gaza at that) and deserves everyone’s support."

          Whoever wrote that comment has an inaccurate grasp of the demographics of Israel and is using an argument Bin Laden made for justifying killing all those people on 9/11 - he felt everyone physically located in the US should die. It’s abhorrent and it’s advocating a crime against humanity.

          Hamas was last elected about 17 years ago when half the current pupulation of Gaza were aged 1 or not born yet. Whether you support them or not is up to you but going around claiming they represent everyone in Gaza is just playing into the IDF narrative.
