    Are people still saying Israel is the good guys? Do good guys do this?

    Do good guys kill Reuters cameramen?

    Do good guys bomb hospitals?

    Do good guys commit genocide?

      Do good guys commit genocide?

      I was arguing with someone about that. Their unwavering position was that population in Gaza is growing, so it cannot be a genocide. UN genocide definition was wrong in their eyes. I tried to compromise to call it “only” ethnic cleansing, they seemed unimpressed. Then they called me a tankie.

      Just take that in: it’s not a genocide because not enough evil sand people died. What the actual fuck?

        What the fuck. Who are they listening to? I have also heard the “UN genocide definition is wrong” argument - but because it’s incomplete. The UN definition is too strict to categorize all genocides into.

        Shooting from tbe hip on this exact stat, but 10 - 15% of the population of Gaza is over 25. Gaza is basically 2 million children and teenagers. Whom all have PTSD.

      Does the term “good guys” make sense outside of comic book movies?
