Sustainable energy is a competitor to their main income source, fossil gas.

Yeah, it's probably both tbh..

Nope. Saying "I don't approve of it but it's not genocide" when it's clearly genocide is denying and thereby excusing genocide, no matter how much you scowl at it.

First off, please read my fucking comments,

I read your fucking comments. You start out by saying you don't condone the atrocities and then you rattle off a bunch of long disproved Israeli government propaganda in defense of the actions you supposedly don't approve of and in an attempt to say that it's not genocide.

That's not "things being more complicated", that's tired "both sides are bad so this one isn't that bad" bullshit that hinges on a shitload of false premises.

You're having an emotional response because I'm showing this situation is more complicated.

You're halfway right: I'm reacting with annoyance and disgust at your pathetic attempts to muddy the waters of what is the worst genocide the world has seen since the Balkan wars of the 90s.

Regardless of anything else going on, the most important questions have simple yes and no answers:

  1. does it fulfill all but one of the 5 characteristics of genocide? Yes.

2)Does that make it genocide? Yes.

  1. is genocide ever acceptable, under any circumstances? No.

You need this thing called evidence. Give me a whistle blower, give me documents. Don't give me one or two crazy people

Dude, the least reliable source of the 4 I gave was Newsweek. The others were Huffington Post, CNN and Haaretz (THE most trusted newspaper in Israel) citing sources within the Israeli government itself.

In what fucking world is that "one or two crazy people"??

As for the rest of your ramblings, they're so off base and unhinged that I'm not going to waste any time and effort addressing them.

Have the day you deserve.

Gaza is very small and very densely populated.

Which is why everyone knows that you can't carpet bomb it without genocidal consequences.

They've known this for decades and still they keep doing it. Your bad faith excuses for genocide are more stale than Alexander Fleming's bread.

Hamas is not an ethnic group

True, but they're only PART of the target group. The target group is all Palestinians, over half of whom are innocent women and children.

Israel warns or attempts to move civilian populations away from bombing targets

They don't. In fact, they order civiliansTO bombing sites

Israel has done those measures the entire conflict.

No they haven't. Stop lying.

Because genocide requires intent

For which there is ample fucking evidence!

Ok, I'll start: Only SOME of the rivers are on fire SOME of the time..

I like that the article consistently refers to Meta as what it is, an adtech giant that also runs social media platforms rather than the other way around.

Yeah, this is the district that keeps this deranged bigot, on the payroll, so I wouldn't ascribe any good intentions to them..

I'd say "about time", but no matter how compelling the evidence, any resolution will be vetoed by the US as usual 🤬
