'False' is a matter of opinion, not an absolute.

eg: 26 March 2024 Human Rights https://news.un.org/en/story/2024/03/1147976

    Citing international law, Ms. Albanese explained that genocide is defined as a specific set of acts committed with the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group. 

    “Specifically, Israel has committed three acts of genocide with the requisite intent: causing seriously serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group, deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part, and imposing measures intended to prevent birth within the group,” she said.  

    Furthermore, “the genocide in Gaza is the most extreme stage of a long-standing settler colonial process of erasure of the native Palestinians,” she continued.

Clearly there are opinions at odds with your opinion.

> the genocide in Gaza is the most extreme stage of a long-standing settler colonial process of erasure of the native Palestinians,

Hilarious considering every conflict has been started by Palestine. Ceasefires broken by Hamas on multiple occasions. And there’s no settler colonial process happening now or in the past.

But let’s continue to blame Israel when Hamas kills people trying to get food or supplies. Or blame Israel when Hamas fires its own rocket at a parking lot and claims 500 dead. Let’s blame Israel for trying to wipe out a terrorist organization that’s sole purpose is to wipe out the Jewish population and wipe Israel off the map.

While Israel is quite restrained. We will keep calling it genocide even tho ACTUAL genocide is happening every day in Iran and China and Africa. It’s fun to ignore what’s happening elsewhere so we can focus on Israel and making up things that aren’t happening.

I believe we've already established that your opinion doesn't align with the opinions of others.

> But let’s

Please don't speak for me, or for others when expressing your opinion.

> It’s fun to ignore what’s happening elsewhere

Perhaps for you but again, please don't speak for myself or for others.

I can speak and you and others when it’s clear you’re spreading propaganda.

Many would look at your comments and consider that you're spreading propaganda.

All that I've spread in my comments above (do please scroll back and check) is the message that opinions are divided.
