He was asked about that in the debate, which was predictable. His answer was incoherent as Biden was all night.
I'm not so sure of that.The original clip isn't a non-squitur. If a terrorist group was hiding amongst Israelis the terrorists would be considered criminals and the Israeli civilians as innocents unless they were actively aiding the terrorists. And the IDF wouldn't be likely to massacre their own innocents, or at least not so many, would they?
You are trying very hard to make a distinction that isn't there... just so you can justify people that had been living in this region to be kicked off their land.Being a region on a map doesn't make them NATIONALLY Palestinians. Just like living in Tennessee doesn't make someone ethnically/racially/nationally a Tennessean. Just means they live in a state called Tennessee.
Correct. I'm not paying attention there now, except for this thread.So you weren't paying attention to what was happening there before October.
Nope, not close. Killing people of mostly arab descent that don't live in a middle eastern country not called Israel isn't genocide. That's the only point I am making. I'm not justify killing them, just that it isn't genocide.You are trying very hard to make a distinction that isn't there... just so you can justify people that had been living in this region to be kicked off their land.
It doesn't matter if there was a "nation" called Palestine or an ethnic group called Palestinians. The simple basic fact is that these people lived, worked and buried bones in the region called Palestine and were ejected and terrorized on their land by European ethno-supremacist colonizers.
WOW...Nope, not close. Killing people of mostly arab descent that don't live in a middle eastern country not called Israel isn't genocide.
Then WTF is it called when you kill people in industrial quantities? Or do you even recognize them as human beings?That's the only point I am making. I'm not justify killing them, just that it isn't genocide.
So now we are going to try to split hairs on what is a genocide vs a targeted massacre of civilians? So not only is geography nebulous, but also massacres of civilians.War, mass murder, mass killing, or in the case of 10/7 massacre. None of what has happened is genocide. Unless you don't actually know what the word means.
I'm not getting drawn into your ******** argument. One of my first posts in this thread was to define genocide and what made this one. If you want to respond to my question please do, otherwise you are just playing with yourself.So now we are going to try to split hairs on what is a genocide vs a targeted massacre of civilians?

I think trying to define what a genocide is misses the point. The IDF has clearly shown that they have no problem targeting civilians and killing Palestinians or Israelis or Americans in order to achieve a goal.I'm not getting drawn into your ******** argument.
