      When the allies bombed german and japanese cities in ww2, the death tolls immensely greater than those in Gaza. In Dresden more people were killed in a single night than there have been in the current Gaza war over almost 3 months - and that is if we trust the claims of Hamas regarding the death toll. Dresden wasn’t even the deadliest bombing in Germany and not the deadliest bombing of the war by a long shot. Yet in fact none of the cities bombed it ww2 were even remotely as densely populated as Gaza.

      If this is supposed to be a genocide, Israel is doing a terrible job at it.

        Two wrongs make a right? Also technology has changed a lot since the forties. And last I checked, nazi Germany was not some sort of prisoner state to the US. So many reasons your comment makes 0 sense.

          Wait do you really think bombing nazi Germany and imperial Japan was wrong? When making the argument I didn’t really expect anyone to take the pro-nazi side lmao. I respect it, at least you’re logically consistent

        If one is willing to prioritize pedantry over human decency - then yes, one could make a case this isn’t technically genocide.

        But even if one is willing to concede that point - what’s absolutely happening is ethnic cleansing. Not sure if that’s an improvement.
