    Because the term “doing a genocide” is a childish misuse of grammar. It’s cringy as fuck and illustrates the fact that you shouldn’t be taken seriously.

        No one here is upset. But if you use cringy catch phrases to describe the grave tragedies and the horrendous treatment of people, just to sound edgy and current-

        You have proven that you’re too immature to hold the discussion with any respect or humility.

        No one “does a genocide.”

        Just like 9/11 wasn’t terrorists “doing a plane crash.”

        People never said that back then because they actually had reverence and compassion for the victims not to try and be edgy about it.

          When it comes to the fact ‘Israel is doing genocide,’ you’re the one that has hyperfixated on the verb ‘doing.’ I already changed it to ‘comitting genocide’ ok?

          If you disagree with whether Israel is an Apartheid State or is currently committing genocide, in opposition to multiple human rights organizations, genocide scholars, and Holocaust Scholars, explain why. Otherwise, I don’t see the point of this conversation.

          If you have compassion for the victims, then you can contact your representatives, boycott with the BDS campaign, and spread awareness. Seems like you’d rather be pendantic instead, so it’s hard to take you seriously
