I never argued that peace was justified, ergo neither did I agree genocide was justified.

It is the Isreali Nazis arguing in favor of this peace.

You’ve created a false choice between endless war and peace thru genocide. Both have been enacted by israel. Pre-oct-7th “trimming the weeds” israel, and the post-oct-7th ethnic cleansing of gaza. The problem isn’t which option you chose - the problem is the framework of the choice is based on a lie and leads to evil actions either choice.

I said genocide might be the most peaceful option. There might be other relatively peaceful ones. I certainly don't see how you can be certain, though, there is an option of peace in the middle east without eliminating rival group -- that is your own potentially false choice. Sometimes reality isn't a utopia.
