[snip] "I see that over the summer there have been, like, protests and demonstrations in astronomical numbers" about the Palestinian cause, the student said. She went on to note how "just a few days ago there were funds allocated to continue backing Israel, which hurts my heart because it's ethnic genocide and displacement of people, the same that happened in America, and I'm sure you're aware of this."
The student went on to allege that the money that would otherwise go to Americans struggling with housing and health care costs goes instead "to inflaming Israel and backing Saudi Arabia and what-not." [/snip]
The proof that there’s genocide is that lots of people are demonstrating, and they’re upset about something, so it must mean that there’s genocide. Why else?/>:<}
The student is a product of a lot of misinformation and has only a base idea of what is being tended to in the middle east.
If you want to speak of genecide:
Over 1,500 rockets and mortars have been fired towards Israel over the past year from the Hamas-run Gaza Strip and over two dozen fired from Syria, a significant increase in the past four years.
In 2006, Hamas won the 2006 Palestinian legislative elections and assumed administrative control of Gaza Strip and West Bank. ... Both regimes - the Ramallah and Gaza government regard themselves as the sole legitimate government of the Palestinian National Authority.
This doesn’t appear to be quite the picture the student is trying to paint. This is what happens with home grown activists that possible haven’t gone further than the corner drug store and robot their keepers calls whether intelligent or not.
