| The_Yoda said: I agree with this and that is one of the reasons early in the thread I asked you about your use of the term Genocide as I think it is mis-used in relation to this conflict. Bill Maher sums it up pretty well in the last 15 seconds of this video. I clipped it because much of the first part I don't believe is applicable to you. |
Maher is pretty naive. It's obvious that Israel's restraint only exists because they can't afford to lose their powerful allies. After all, Israel is surrounded by countries who don't like them. Israel can't commit genocide, but they would like to; so they are sitting in the same boat as Hamas.
Mentioning "from the river to the sea" without mentioning zionism (or neo-zionism) is also extremely dishonest, because the current government of Israel consists of people who subscribe to the idea of the promised land that must be cleansed, be it through displacement or outright murder. Hence why we get Israel's ministers acting the way they do, getting ever more extreme with the things they say.
Lastly, pro-palestine is not the same as pro-Hamas.
