    And calling for the eradication of Israelis isn’t going to stop what is happening either.

          the passive voice is erasing attribution by saying "x happened” rather than the active voice, which would be ‘x was done by y’ or ‘y did x’

          I’m joking and saying that you think the violence really does just materialize from nowhere, totally depersonified.

          its very hard to perpetrate a genocide when you are dead.

            I don’t think it materializes from nowhere, it materialize when people talk about removing that other group from existence. Not a joking matter. Genocide to “solve” Genocide is dumb.

              so if someone just refuses to negotiate or compromise or be bribed, they can just do genocide and it’s fine?

                Never said it was, but neither is the wholesale slaughter of people. Keep in mind you said “someone” not an entire country of some 9.5 million people.

                  but none of them will stop.

                  that’s the thing. do Palestinian lives matter, or do “Israeli” lives matter? because they can’t both. the “Israelis” have seen to that, and since they have consistently made that choice with very little dissent over the past century+, I say they should be the ones whose lives no longer matter.

                  if you say otherwise, you are genocidal.

                    Israeli lives matter, as do Palestinians. Because they obviously both do and they both can. Why the quotation marks around Israeli? If you say otherwise, you are genocidal. Thankfully your opinion of the value of lives is as worthless as you deem Israelis to be.
