RE: Israel’s actions in Gaza do not amount to genocide

Look, Israel specifically WARNED Gaza residents IN ADVANCE to flee their homes PRIOR to their operation. Leaflets were dropped.

Israeli aircraft dropped thousands of printed leaflets over Gaza City urging civilians to evacuate southward to the designated humanitarian zone in Al-Mawasi.

The leaflets included instructions and even a phone number for reporting Hamas roadblocks.

The IDF’s Arabic-language spokesperson, Col. Avichay Adraee, posted evacuation messages on platforms like X (formerly Twitter), warning that “remaining in the area is extremely dangerous”.

Prime Minister Netanyahu released a video on Telegram.

This was part of a broader campaign to emphasize the seriousness of the military operation.

Israel has previously used radio broadcasts and SMS alerts in past conflicts to reach civilians in Gaza.

Did we warn the residents of Hiroshima and Nagasaki to flee their homes?

Did we warn residents of Dresden to flee their homws?

Yet, what was done in Hiroshima and Nagazaki and Dresden was not called genocide.

What Israel is doing in Gaza has never been done before.

Genocide is a deliberate action to eliminate a race or ethnicity. It happens all the time in Africa and the U.N. says nothing. It is not happening in Gaza.

the claim of genocide against Israel is propaganda

if it is repeated often enough people will believe it

all who willingly repeat it are willing collaborators with terrorists

Of course. Hamas puts out fake videos, using children as usual, showing starvation and crying about Israeli oppression, which the media gobbles up and disseminates as though it’s real news. They are the collaborators.

Exactly. If anyone knows genocide when they see it, it's the Germans.

Hamas is a group paid to take actions for Iran and their sponsor. Hamas is not there to help the people called Palestinian, at all.

I take it that means that Germany won’t be recognizing Palestine as a State like the cuck Starmer will be doing tomorrow.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz is spot on. Those saying Israel’s actions in Gaza is genocide are spewing false propaganda.

Did we warn the residents of Hiroshima and Nagasaki to flee their homes?

6/22/2015: Hyperallergic.com, "The Leaflets Dropped Before the Hiroshima Atomic Bomb"

... But in the case of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, which were never named on the leaflets they received, the humanitarian pretense was dropped entirely. Small wonder that nobody expected what was to come.

Since the war there have been abt 30 some thousand deaths. Terrible. But, LAST year ALONE, Planned Parenthood claimed there were almost 400,00 babies IN AMERICA exterminated. I think American women are the ones committing GENOCIDE.

Dems call us Nazis and Hitler and Fascists, but THEY are the ones wanting the Jews exterminated. So, Actually THEY are the Nazis, Fascists AND Hitler.

The way this works is that there is first a conflict between the so-called Palestinians and Israel, leading to the Palestinians being locked down. The Israelis then slowly lower the pressure, allowing commerce and contacts between people to occur, I am guessing in the hopes that hearts will change. In the mean time, the Palestinian’s version of Sesame Street glorifies killing Jews, and their people look the other way while they place military installations in schools and hospitals. Then, the inevitable happens.

The Palestinians bring this on themselves. The Jews that founded Israel decided back in the ‘40s that the crap that has befallen them for thousands of years is going to stop. They will not roll over. The rest of the Arab world know the Palestinians are nothing but trouble and wants nothing to do with them. The only people who can fix this are the Palestinians. Period. I hope they can figure it out.

>>”If they [Israel] stop killing children maybe I’d believe you.”

Israel is at war with Hamas, not with Gazan children. Hamas kill their own children by hiding behind them and using them as human shields. They care about their own children little more than they cared about the Israeli babies they slaughtered on October 7th. Only an Islamo-fascist or one of their apologists like yourself would expect Hamas’s enemies to show more compassion towards Hamas’s children than they themselves do.
