    besides your rhetorical questions, this is comment is entirely personal attacks.

      This isn’t rhetorical. We have literally a plan that would stop both Israel and Hamas from fighting for the near future and you’re responding to me with weird ass Poland analogies.

      Is the Egyptian peace plan reasonable? Can you even look at it for a second and prove to me that you have any semblance of care for this situation?

        your raising this plan as a red herring. you still haven’t admitted that israel has done terrible things and are now trying to act like its all in the past and all that matters is what egypt has proposed.

        i won’t fall for this. i won’t ignore the genocide.

          Israel can do terrible things without it being a genocide.

          The USA’s bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki were terrible things. But they were not genocidal.

          You’re the one fixated on calling it a genocide. I’m more than happy to say that Israel’s settlers in the West Bank are assholes or that the Bibi government is full of right-wing power mongers or whatever. But genocide is a completely different word yo and shouldn’t be used so wantonly.

            but it is a genocide, so this is moot.

            so WWII analogies are fine, but only wehn you use them to excuse genocide.

              Apparently you like WW2, so I’m trying to work with you here. The millions of people the USA killed in Japan do not constitute a genocide. And Japan agrees with us. War is war. A genocide is a well defined thing. A systematic erasure of a culture, a people. The closest thing to a genocide in Israel right now is West Bank IMO, with the settler issue which is causing displacements and whatever. But that’s not the Gaza situation you’re talking about.

                War is war.

                but what’s happening in gaza is not a war because gaza is a ghetto inside israel. it’s a genocide.

                  Yeah. I’ll call it at this point. I’m not sure if there’s much usefulness to this discussion to me anymore. We’ve covered this topic already.
