His original post , titled I can't sleep, is some brilliant writing. When we talk about the chilling effect that criticism of Israel creates in industries everywhere (including ours) this is what that looks like.

The difference is that this time the West is supporting and financing the genocide.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Genocide? Please. This is a war with quite low numbers of civilians casualties so far. Was it genocide when the west entered Iraq? Afghanistan? ISIS? Where was the outrage when Americans took Fallujah or Mosul? These are just single battles.

The fact that in similar situations nobody brings “genocide” but here they do, suggest for me the same - hypocrisy.

In Gaza about 1% of the population died you moron. Also people were very much outraged at these things.

What percentage died in Mosul? Aleppo? Fallujah? I would guess larger. And you worried only now? And lashing out on other people for pointing your hypocrisy, only shows that you do not have moral or at least consistent position to stand, and you start calling other people morons. Examine your own position from universal human values, rather than “Jews are evil”, think it through.
