Yeah she's very opinionated and extremely obnoxious.

Why not "Israel killed journalists covering the war in Lebanon as they slept"? Israeli airstrike make it sounds relatively passive as if it was an accident. With over 170 if these "accidents" we know that the IDF is either very, very incompetent or they're not accidents at all

Every single genocide is unique. Not just the holocaust. Including the one committed in Palestine at the hands of the zionists nowadays.

Look, I'm not the one talking about the entire world holding my own personal opinion here.

All the IDF reservists must be valid military targets then. And since almost everyone in Israel is required to serve in the IDF, including women, one could argue that there are barely any civilians in Israel nowadays. Imagine all the combatants working in hospitals, schools, universities, and so on. in Israel. Guess one can start bombing those facilities now without fearing they'll ever harm civilians, right?

Like the other 170 journalists they've killed so far for casting light on the war crimes they've been committing. Being labelled a terrorist by Israel must be one of the highest titles one could earn in journalism nowadays.

You seem to talk for the entire world. I wonder who put you in charge.

Yeah, that's fair. Not like that rumor held any kind of water in the first place. It was started by the US government just because they needed to manufacture consent for an invasion so that they can invade their old buddy Saddam Hussein that stopped listening to them. Hell, they event tricked him into invading Kuwait, telling him behind closed doors that they'll have his back at the UN, then didn't keep on their promise hoping that the invasion would be the downfall of Iraq (which is wasn't and that was the reason for them to maliciously start the false rumor that Saddam was trying to build weapons of mass destruction). I recommend listening to Blowback season 1. It's a really well documented podcast by top tier journalists.

Based on that, why would countries do literally anything at this point? A major superpower can make up any kind of rumor (even maliciously just to use as pretext) to achieve its goals. See Russia with the Nazis in Ukraine.

Oh yeah, the singularity of the Holocaust. The same kind of thinking that empowers Germany to aide countries in committing all kinds of atrocities all around the world just because those will never be THE Holocaust, so it's okay.

Pretty much. International law means nothing in the greater context as long as that benefits the superpowers.

I honestly don't understand why not every country isn't producing nuclear weapons at this point. Diplomacy has clearly been a complete farce for decades now. Countries like Israel can develop nuclear weapons without any repercussions, because the "civilized west", while seemingly being so obsessed with international law when it comes to countries like Iran and North Korea, surprisingly tends to forget about whatever Israel is doing, and thus is only selectively applying said international law. In extension, international law is a farce, and is only of importance when it suits one of the superpowers sitting in the imperial core.

My ancestors did. They went through the Holocaust. Israel is committing a genocide.
