So it’s just a coincidence that they ended up killing their competitors? Yeah right.

Then why did they once support XMPP?

I never said defeating them or out competing them should be the goal. The goal should be the survival of services. And corporations will kill these services.

So what?

Keeping users siloed in Facebook’s garden shouldn’t be seen as a win for us.

Sometimes the only winning move is not to play. If people hadn’t federated with google’s XMPP back in the day, google wouldn’t have had the same level of control it had to kill XMPP as a competitor.

We need to learn from the lessons of the past, and the past has resulted in the deaths of services when federating with corporations.

Civilians are pretty much everywhere alongside Hamas members who are usually between them.

Yeah, so maybe they should stop dropping bombs.

Israeli actions wouldn’t be similar to any of them.

Not only is this not true, but even if it were, as I’ve already pointed out it doesn’t need to be similar. A genocide can be totally unique yet still fall under the definition of genocide.

It’s impossible not to kill civilians in such a conflict when the area you are fighting in is a densely populated city

But it is possible to not drop bombs on areas you KNOW civilians are at.

Of course genocide is not defined by numbers. However, all genocides should have some traits in common.

This is also not a part of the definition of genocide.

How should Israel respond?

I get that there are unused ways of minimizing civilian deaths

Seems like you already know the answer to that question. Yet for some reason you’re giving Israel a free pass for killing civilians. So effectively you’re just arguing for terrorism. State terrorism, but terrorism nonetheless.

Good people don’t kill civilians.

I agree that genocides have different flavors but the results of all is a completely or partially removed ethnicity. By saying partially, I mean roughly 40% killed or moved to a detention facility.

The definition of genocide contains no percentage threshold. You’re making definitions up out of thin air.

Most of those deaths happen due to the lack shelters and lack of places where people can hide.

…and the bombs landing on their heads.

If Israel wanted to genocide Palestinians, they would have done it in a week.

Not all genocides are done with equal fervor.

Also, they would not have to be dead if Hamas didn’t start this.

This was started in 1948 when Palestinians were forced from their homes. Playing a game of “who started it” doesn’t justify anything.

it’s more of an approach where they no longer try as much to limit civilian causalities as much as possible.

Yeah… almost like they are totally OK with killing civilians (genocide).

it’s probably more than 20k. What does it prove though?

See above definition on genocide. If thousands of dead Palestinian civilians (~50% of whom are children) isn’t enough to be labeled as genocide then the definition you are using is a bad one.

Judging which bomb is purposefully thrown on civilians is impossible.

Are you saying that when Israel bombed the Jabalia refugee camp, they were not intentionally killing civilians?

How many Palestinian civilians have been killed?

How many bombs have been intentionally dropped on civilians?

in whole or in part

In Israel, citizens are equal. Muslims and others have the same rights as Jews.

It is an ethnostate, by definition it does not treat people equally.

You also conveniently ignored the fact that they are committing genocide.

Ethnostates are inherently immoral, regardless of which race they are. Everyone should be treated equally under the law, regardless of race. Nobody should be a 2nd class citizen, apartheid is immoral.

And that’s all before counting the ongoing genocide.

Have you been living under a rock?

To be completely fair, if they’re in the U.S., the amount of propaganda flying around coupled with the complete lack of history being taught about the issue is more than enough to leave the average person unaware of these genocidal actions.

The difference is, Trump did so for personal political gain. Netanyahu’s government is killing thousands of palestinian civilians, which is genocide. Coercing a foreign nation to stop genociding people is a good thing.

That’s exactly what I do and I don’t have problems getting it warm all throughout.

And even for solid food it isn’t too hard. Just keep it shaped like a doughnut, then let it sit for a minute or two.
