    They would be fine with Israelis becoming Palestinian. That’s hardly genocide.

    They just don’t want Israel to exist.

      The Day of Judgment will not come until Muslims fight the Jews, when the Jew will hide behind stones and trees. The stones and trees will say, ‘O Muslim, O servant of God, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him.’ Only the Gharkad tree would not do that, because it is one of the trees of the Jews.

      A real hadith quote from Hamas’ founding charter, Article VII (1988)

      Let’s be totally real here, for most of their short history Hamas has been deeply committed to carrying out a genocide against the Jewish people for a mix of reasons including politics, religion and race. Over the last 4-5 years Hamas have made an effort to moderate their language around this topic, but judging by recent events they have done very little to moderate their actions and ideology.

        Thats how israel was created. Israel did that within living memory. That was how that nation came to be.

        I dont think being homophobic is overly relevant, tho, no? Being homophobic is not a reason to murder people.

        Your homophobia aside, that’s exactly what the Israelis are doing. Also, strictly speaking, the conquering and elimination of a national government isn’t genocide. That requires the people to be murdered for being of that national origin. If they aren’t being murdered, there’s no genocide.

            I’m a Mexican-American atheist man who has sucked more dicks in my life than most women have. I live a couple miles from the bridge I slept under in the wintertime as a homeless kid because the Gospel Mission didn’t “take my kind”. I spent my days collecting enough bottles so I could buy a meal every day for my sister and I so we didn’t starve, because one day our mother decided she didn’t want to take care of us anymore and just left. So don’t you fucking dare strut around talking about how only you know what suffering is, you Zionist, genocidal, Muslim-hating, self-righteous piece of shit. You didn’t suffer through any shit countless other people have. The difference between you and I is that I didn’t let it turn me into a fucking shit stain of a human being.
