Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich says victory in Gaza will mean the enclave being "entirely destroyed," Palestinians leaving for other countries.
You’re getting down voted because you’ve missed the point. It doesn’t matter why the current situation is happening, calling for genocide as a response to genocide makes you just as guilty as the people you hate.
You blamed the current situation on the ‘cycle of revenge,’ which grossly misrepresents the reality of Zionism and the reaction of Palestinian resistance.
Do you not read the context of comments you replied to? The guy I was responding to specifically said he hopes that what’s happening to Palestinians happens to the Israelis.
Obviously this endless cycle of violence is not the way forward, but Israel must face some sort of penalty for their deplorable actions. What level of reparations would be appropriate here?
Should they follow Germany’s example with respect to the Holocaust, post WWII? Are there any other historical examples of an oppressive regime stepping back and taking responsibility for the destruction and mass loss of life that they’ve caused?
What is reasonable here to break the cycle and move forward, as best as anyone meaningfully can?

Kami is, which is why I downvoted them.
Palestinian resistance is not calling for genocide.
I feel like I’m talking to a bot. All of your responses are at best tangentially related to what I say.
You blamed the current situation on the ‘cycle of revenge,’ which grossly misrepresents the reality of Zionism and the reaction of Palestinian resistance.
And you keep ignoring the point that it doesn’t fucking matter. You can’t solve genocide with more genocide.
Where are you getting that I’m calling for genocide?
Palestinian resistance is fighting for ending the apartheid, for equal rights, and for right of return. Not genocide.
Do you not read the context of comments you replied to? The guy I was responding to specifically said he hopes that what’s happening to Palestinians happens to the Israelis.
And I already condemned them for that, so why are you attributing that to me or the Palestinian resistance
I’m not. I never was. I have no idea why you keep bringing it up.

I mean you can… you can’t commit genocide if all your people are dead.
But that still involves genocide, and maybe this is a hot take, genocide is bad. So we shouldn’t take that option.
I’m not calling for anything, I’m just hoping they’ll get what they are giving. If you think it is genocide, then so be it.
