Somebody who thinks Israel is committing genocide is pretty damned ignorant of Israeli politics and social mores -- and, in his youthful inexperience, is quite led down a rabbit hole by Arab propaganda, driven by a rampant antisemitism, derived from Nazism, which if allowed to develop further, would probably gross out Himmler.

The Israelis are notably allergic to genocide, having returned to a land once theirs in reaction to one. Now they find themselves faced by a fresh enemy that has and openly avers an enthusiasm for a genocide.

This is an intolerable stance and a horrid sin. Worse, it tempts those offended by it into thinking themselves that an actual genocide upon Palestinians might be a solution. This simply makes it doubly horrid.

The Palestinians are being kept as a catspaw by other parties -- and nations -- committed to perpetual feud with the Jews. Were the Palestinians not being kept in their horrible conditions by their countrymen, this would have been over thirty years ago.

Can you blame the Israelis for wanting to win? I cannot. You should not.
