Genocide: the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group.

Israel is not genocidal. Hamas IS genocidal. Everyone shouting "from the mountains to the sea" IS genocidal.

Hamas did kill babies. Your willful blind eye to the actual facts on the ground is astounding.

First off: nobody is shouting "from the mountains to the sea". That's not a thing. You mean "from the river to the sea" --- the Jordan River being a claimed historical western border of Palestine and of "Greater Israel".

Second off: it is manifestly not the case that everyone shouting that slogan is genocidal. One indication of that: Israel has used the slogan itself. Most people who use it probably don't really even know what it means, as seems to have been the case there.

Third: please stop declaiming. It's not persuasive, it doesn't teach anybody anything, and it pumps cortisol into the thread. You don't have to have a thing to say here. Sometimes it's best just to let charged threads like these die down on their own.
