12. It's not genocide, it's war.

Tue Oct 7, 2025, 03:08 AM

Tuesday

Governments make war and innocent people suffer.
Hamas is the government of Gaza.
Hamas attacked Israel.
Israel is trying to destroy Hamas.
Hamas could surrender and end the war, but it won't.
Innocent people are suffering, but it's not genocide.

600,000 German civilians and 1,000,000 Japanese were killed by allied bombing. Was that genocide?

If you want to know what genocide really is look to Sudan's ongoing civil war. Islamist extremist groups have killed 2,000,000 Christians in the Sudan in an attempt to kill all of the Christians in that country. That is what genocide is, trying to destroy an entire racial, ethnic, or religious group of people. Israel is not killing Palestinians in order to eliminate the entire group, they are trying to achieve a military victory over the government that declared war on them.
