    before Israel’s genocide

    Do… do you really think the genocide started after Oct. 7??? It’s been going for decades. What are you talking about???

    Yeah I’ll say his tone shifted after somewhat, but the fact that it took the genocide escalating and becoming an important news topic to do it really soured my opinion of him.

      Yeah, I do. An institutionalized and systemic prejudicial harassment of a population is not genocide. I suggest you stop using that word seeing as you clearly don’t know what it means.

        That’s up for debate. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestinian_genocide_accusation

        But sure rules-lawyer and break out the calipers to call it genocide or not. It doesn’t matter - the systematic oppression that the Israeli regime inflicted upon Palestine since the 40’s negates any right Israel has to “self-defense” regardless of if you so deem it “genocide” or no.
