I didnt even have to leave Lemmy to see it.
Would it be more palatable to their sensitive dispositions if we called it ethnic cleansing instead?
Americans are cool with genocide; you just have to call it “manifest destiny.”
It’s as American as Thanksgiving!
I suspect some clarification will come out that claims that there’s some reason it doesn’t count as genocide because of some narrow parsing of words. In other words, it’s only sparkling indiscriminate mass murder of a mostly homogeneous region, not genocide.
That’s what I was wondering. Could they please release the full definition of the version of the word “genocide” they’re using?
Is a war crime, regardless…
It’s easy to miss war crimes when you’re not looking…this is stupid.
“They’re happening, we’re just choosing not to see them” ~ The State Department probably
Meanwhile, Republicans are going ignore this and start impeachment proceedings on DHS secretary Alejandro Mayorkas due to border security issues instead.
I mean I don’t want the Republicans to impeach anyone, but if you’re going to impeach a cabinet-level position, impeach the one pretending a genocide isn’t happening while we all watch it happen with our own eyes.
They could start at the top and work their way down
“Nah nah nah nah, I can’t hear you,” State Dept says.
It’s easy to miss war crimes when you’re not looking…
You can’t see anything with your head in the sand.
It is much easier to see when you actually open your eyes.
yes, 🙈 …minus the smile.
The millions that our government officials receive in JStreet money every year is paying off for Israel
… in Wall Street ? (main USA trading place)
No, AIPAC campaign contributions to politicians
“30 citizens die in Ukrian” … Omg boycutt that war criminal putin!
“20000 citizens die in Gaza”… Please send billions worth of bombs to Netenyhu
The whole “genocide” talk is just so misguided. If Israel was trying to just kill as many Palestinians as they could, only a raving, idiotic lunatic would think the numbers would be anywhere even close to where they are.
