Getting Called A Nazi For Opposing A Genocide

Gaza isn't one of those issues where you have to respect the other side's opinions. Supporting a genocidal massacre is not an acceptable opinion for anyone to have. This is worth hurting people's feelings over. Worth losing friends over. Worth disrupting Thanksgiving dinner over.

Anyone who looks at these numbers and still opposes a ceasefire is saying something significant about who they are as a person. They're saying their conscience has not formed properly. That they never developed into mature adults. That they have wasted their time on this planet.

Ah shit you guys we gotta let Israel keep murdering thousands of kids, turns out if you squint really hard at the phrase "from the river to the sea" the words transform into "genocide the Jews".

It is right to call for the abolishment of the murderous apartheid ethnostate of Israel, in the same way it was right to call for the end of apartheid South Africa. Only by the most determined mental gymnastics does calling for all Palestinians to be freed from apartheid, murder and abuse due to their ethnicity sound like a call for the genocide of Jews.

A state whose existence requires the mass murder of children every few years is not a state that should continue to exist.

It's a crazy coincidence how Israel bombing Hamas in ambulances, hospitals, mosques, schools, refugee camps, water towers and buildings full of children looks exactly the same as what it would look like if Israel was just massacring civilians with bombs.

This belief that it's fine and good for a government to keep massacring children by the thousands until its enemies give it what it wants is just about the most evil position you can possibly imagine anyone espousing. And it's very, very mainstream among Israel apologists.
