       Hint: it’s not your respectable polite friends and colleagues who don’t like offending people who speak up against genocide.

       @timnitGebru To which genocide do YOU refer? Because I have many colleagues: but they only focus on one region. That’s a shame, right?No one mentions the poor Uighurs. Or the Armenians. Or the Sudanese. Or Yemenis. Or the Syrian war, my God. No, incredibly the people who scream “genocide” the most right now seem focused *solely* on the #Palestinians in #gaza Gosh, there must be a reason why… Oh, right: #antisemitism

       @thetechtutor @timnitGebru you know you are speaking bullshit, but yet...There is a simple moral principle that you should oppose oppression more strongly when your own society supports that oppression.You have more moral obligation to oppose something when your government directly supports that.Also this particular genocide is displayed on our screens continuously. To not oppose it is inconceivable.

       @Chrisod @timnitGebru and yet… So called progressives, like you continue to use the word #genocide to describe a country defending itself by striking military targets. This is not the definition of genocide, and no amount of you saying that it is will make it so.I abhor the loss of innocent lives, but will not stoop to your level by engaging in ignorant propaganda or languaging to mislabel what is currently happening in this conflict. War is brutal.

       @thetechtutor The term "genocide" is too easily & inappropriately abused these days..."By the UN definition, Hamas is a genocidal organisation. Its founding charter, published in 1988, explicitly commits it to obliterating Israel. Article 7 states that “The Day of Judgment will not come about until Moslems fight Jews and kill them”. Article 13 rejects any compromise, or peace, until Israel is destroyed. Hamas fighters who burst into Israel on October 7th and killed more than 1,400 Israelis (and other nationalities) were carrying out the letter of their genocidal law.Israel, by contrast, does not meet the test of genocide. There is little evidence that Israel, like Hamas, “intends” to destroy an ethnic group—the Palestinians."https://www.economist.com/the-economist-explains/2023/11/10/how-the-term-genocide-is-misused-in-the-israel-hamas-war#IsraelPalestine #Israel #Palestine #TwoStatesOneUnion #PeaceSalaamShalom
