    Most countries don’t take advice from people that hate them and want to see them destroyed.

    But of course you’ll probably continue to think that if you scream even louder about how much you hate Israel maybe Israel will listen to you.

    Meanwhile in the real world, Israel is not committing genocide. People wouldn’t be calling for a ceasefire if there was actual genocide going on because a ceasefire would mean Hamas would no longer be able to protect Palestinian civilians from a genocidal army. Calls for a ceasefire is an admission that a) Hamas is not protecting the civilian population and b) civilian casualties are only occurring because of conflict between Israel an Hamas. Civilian casualties that occur because of a conflict is a part of a war. Genocide is when civilians are directly targeted, which can happen while in a state of ceasefire, which is what happened on October 7.

    Nobody calls for the perpetrators of the genocide that occurred on October 7 to surrender and face justice, because we all know it’s pointless. Actual perpetrators of genocide do not respect the law. When people call on Israel for ceasefire, call on Israel to make more effort to reduce civilian casualties it is an admission that Israel does respect the law.

    The accusations of genocide is simply an attempt to motivate people into attacking Jews in Israel… and sometimes even Jews elsewhere in the world. It’s all about increasing hostilities and wanting more people to die out of anger over the people currently dying in a conflict which was started by Hamas.

    The calls for ceasefire is all about people wanting Yahya Sinwar to survive so he can fight another day and continue this conflict long term. Ideally Sinwar should face justice for the genocide he ordered. But it’s doubtful that he will surrender himself, so the most likely scenario is that he will be killed, either directly by an IDF soldier or buried alive in an underground bunker constructed to keep him safe while leaving the Palestinian people at the mercy of an army that Hamas claims to be committing genocide. The myth of the fascist strongman leader in all of it’s glory.

    Now people will scream emotion at me thinking their emotion will somehow change the rules of logic. You may even report my post and have a moderator remove it because this “Israel is committing genocide” hateful meme can’t survive the light of truth and basic logic. It only can survive in a place where hated dominates discussion.
