What is happening in Gaza is unconscionable. I have said that repeatedly, calling early and consistently for a ceasefire. I have not spoken in terms of genocide, that is true. Number one, because that is not the desire of the Israeli people; and two, because then you have to point out that genocide is exactly what Sinwar has declared is the intention of Hamas toward the Jews. This conversation is far too serious, and far too tragic, for me to want to discuss it in terms of genocide tit for tat. We need three things: 1) Ceasefire. 2) Release of the hostages. 3) A plan for a two-state solution.

Palestinian liberation isn't about religious persecution, it's about the resistance of settler occupation and Western colonialism

Your posts suggest that you don't really know what the Israeli people want - though after 70 years of occupation, violations of international law, illegal annexations and settlements, and what we see today, it should be clear to you.
Alastair Crook - "over 80% of Israelis, left and right, share those sentiments about wanting to erase all Palestinians from Gaza. I mean eradicate all #Palestinians from Gaza." #GazaHolocaust

Gideon Levy with the answer to the question we all ask: “how can Israelis live with themselves?”

This right here.
The seriousness of the conversation is exactly why you have to call it “genocide.” Refusing to call it “genocide” only benefits the brutal and barbaric occupation force committing the genocide. The IDF has the power to commit genocide. The Palestinians don’t. Not tit for tat.

"that is not the desire of the Israeli people" But it clearly is the desire of the Israeli government. "I won't call it a genocide because some people don't want a genocide," doesn't make any sense at all.

Whether or not the desire of the Israeli people is for genocide is irrelevant compared to the fact that that is what the Israeli government is carrying out and our government is financing.

It’s a textbook case of genocide. There’s no sugarcoating it.

So many public statements from the Israeli government with clear genocidal intent. Intent is not in question.
