As an opening gambit, I would say that calling for genocide is a bad thing, and the West should reject anyone or any group that calls for genocide against a particular group. It should be a little like “the n-word”. It’s the thing you don’t say. You lose the argument if you say it. You “cross the line”.
But, for me, the corollary to this is that if Group A actually does cross that line and call for the destruction of Group B, then all bets are off. At that point, calling for genocide against Group A becomes a moral imperative. All decent people should feel a compulsion to wipe Group A off the face of the earth. Group A crossed the line. Now they deserve what’s coming to them.
If you’re standing next to pro-Palestinians who chant “From the river to the sea”, you best run away from those people because those people deserve to be hit with everything anyone can muster.
Well-stated. BUMP!
A recent interview on Joe Rogan with Tim Kennedy brings this up.
He puts out that if Hamas dropped their weapons, promised no more violence, and kept that promise Israel would stop(maybe not in this case b/c of what Hamas did).
But....if Israel dropped their weapons, Hamas would go into Israel and slaughter everyone.
Can’t co-exist with those types of people. Not possible
