Ah yes, this is definitely a simple conflict with an easily identifiable black-and-white solution.
If a people are being genocided and you still have difficulties seeing the black and white clearly, that's on you. It couldn't be more black or white than this, the side doing the genocide is always black until it stops doing the genocide. I'm a simple man, doing genocide=black in any context, always.
You should get some learnin then. Because what you just said is stupid as hell. Both candidates support genocide here, but one does so reluctantly and is open to peace while the other wants more killing more faster. If you still don't see the difference, not only are you stupid, you have no moral conscience and you're willing to let more people die just so you can feel smug.
Clearly.
That doesn't even make any sense.
I would start with your local Russian embassy
How would you suggest Israel combat Hamas then, since you’re such a simple man and this is such a simple conflict?
That's a problem for the Israeli state to solve, not me. There have been many ways in my view, but that's not relevant to the question of commiting genocide. I don't need to be an expert in order to categorically oppose genocide. There's not a thing you can say that the Palestinians have done, real or imaginary, which would make a genocide defendable to a human being in touch with their humanity.
There's no reason at all to discuss anything other than stopping the genocide in the current context. You don't discuss possible long term solutions while a genocide is ongoing. After Israel stops commiting genocide, there'll perhaps be room to discuss what to do going forward, but while it's ongoing, there's only one thing worth discussing: How to stop Israel commiting genocide.
