You're throwing in any kind of other sh1t you can think of to avoid talking about the apartheid regime - that's the issue, not what some folks are up to in London.
Rape as a weapon of war or in any circumstance is fcuking atrocious, but you're acting as though this is a new thing introduced yesterday, when it has been happening in silence against the Palestinians for decades. I even posted a vid of a former IDF soldier laughing about it, they've shown lynchings on live TV.
If 60 years of oppression and a further escalation over the last 2 decades doesn't make you really have a "are we the baddies moment," then it's a detachment from reality and willful ignorance at this point.
Just one point about Hamas - they have a right to fight back under international law. Their actions were terrible in a lot of instances during this attack, but they do actually provide welfare and charity to the people of Palestine. I know people don't want o hear that, and I'm not a Hamas cheerleader, but the truth is the truth whether we like it or not.

I'm throwing in any kind of other ****? You're the one who, in response to women being raped and killed yesterday, posted a video of one Israeli soldier admitting to a rape happening
75 years ago? Okay fair enough, good on Hamas then!
I started my post by talking about the reaction in the West to these attacks so I'm not 'throwing it in', it was the main point of my post.
If you want to talk about genocide I think going house to house and shooting or abducting as many people as you can in an attempt to 'cleanse' the area is pretty genocidal. I think parading someone's body through the streets and celebrating her death because she was a different ethnicity is pretty genocidal. I think wanting the destruction of the only Jewish state (whose people have been discriminated against for a lot longer than 60 years) is pretty genocidal. I think lumping all Israelis together as legitimate targets to 'fight back' against is pretty genocidal.
