Thirty-three countries have recognized it as a genocide, and we’re waiting for a ruling from the International Court of Justice (in a case brought by South Africa).

I didn’t say a genocide wasn’t happening. You really need to look outside your own biases. I think you’ll find conversations to be significantly easier to manage.

What I said- was that the “cereal” isn’t committing genocide.

Not committing genocide...just enabling genocide. I believe that's called a "distinction without a difference".

What if the cereal is committing genocide

I believe I was responding to this. And it’s not a “distinction without a difference.” It’s a poorly made straw man.

Harris isn’t enabling anything. She hasn’t made any policy decision that has a thing to do with Israel or Palestine.

So unless you have anything else to offer besides reality-warping rhetoric… we’re done here.

The Cereal is committing genocide.

It’s not even the first time the cereal has committed genocide.

[–] WrenFeathers 2 points 3 weeks ago

So… you honestly stand to accuse Harris of genocide? Do you know how any of this works?

You've got to be one of the biggest hypocrite. You claim to be against genocide yet look at all the pro Russia posts you've made in your post history. So you don't care about Russia's lengthy history of committing genocide along with Russia's more recent genocides huh?

[–] HomerianSymphony -1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I’m not pro-Russia.

And I fully acknowledge that Russia has a disturbing number of genocides and forced relocations in its history, including the Crimean Tatars.

On this particular issue, though, namely the issue of Palestine, Russia is on the correct side. Russia supports existence of the State of Palestine along the pre-1967 borders.

And the Chechen genocide.
