If I said "It's not my belief, but I understand why Israelis think all Palestinians should be killed or expelled. Israelis have their own autonomy, and deserve to make their own decisions on the matter", would you:

A. Call it genocidal

B. Call it genocide apologism

C. Call it asspatting genocidal sentiment

D. Think it's a completely normal and wholesome sentiment to express

?

If your answer is anything except D, take a fucking step back and ask yourself why you find genocide support okay for Bad Ethnicity(tm) but not for Good Ethnicity(tm).

If your answer is D, go home and rethink your whole fucking life.

None of the comments you posted said they understood why every israeli should be killed.

"We don't want them killed, we're just going to kill them if they don't leave, it's totally not genocide" is literally why the term ethnic cleansing came about and why it's regarded as genocidal, for fuck's sake.

Any other "We just really want them to leave" genocides you'd like to bootlick for? Maybe the Armenian genocide, or the genocides during the Yugoslav Wars? Or maybe the early stages of the Nazi genocide, when expelling the Jews was the main plan? Hell, maybe you'd like to swap sides on the ongoing Palestinian genocide? After all, the Israelis 'only' want the Palestinians out of Palestine!

"We didn't call it genocide, so it's not"

Literal Nazi shit. Literal Zionist shit too, for that matter. We're done here.
