    Are people still trying to both sides a literal genocide?

    Nope; I’m saying calling for the death of those causing the genocide isn’t going to bring peace.

      Together, we can just get them to stop. Starve them of money and weapons. Shame them publicly. Force them away from their victims. It can all be done without death.

              “Death death to the SS” would be too radical for the average lib it seems.

                How do you suppose Israel will be non-violently forced away from Palestine, the place they’ve been ethnically cleansing with the explicit help of other nations for over 70 years? Together, we’ll… ?

                Canada won’t even put out a statement saying there is a genocide and that it’s wrong. We are sending weapons and other aid directly to Israel to help them finish the job.

                  Death to the IDF.

                    YOU ARE SUPPORTING KILLERS OF CHILDREN AND DOERS OF GENOCIDE.

                    YOU ARE NOT A GOOD HUMAN BEING.

                      Point wasn’t missed.

                      But I have a hard time with “death to <anyone>”, even when the original intent is metaphorical. Absolutely no equating calls for ending violent groups with actual violence committed by those groups.

                          … For those fighting over there. Are you active military Mr armchair warrior? I’d like to see them all prosecuted and thrown into prison for the rest of their lives. Better, they should atone by rebuilding Gaza.

                          Calling for anybody’s death and calling that Okay is how we got here in the first place.

                            Do you want to see how easy it is to be against Israels actions, support Palestinian freedom, and not support Terrorists while inciting violence?

                            I mean, why would you not incite violence against violent genociders and occupiers? Also you meant Israelis. Israelites are the Biblical group.

                            Because it isn’t everyone in Israel or the IDF, just like every Palestinian isn’t Hamas, as I stated above. Inciting violence leads to more innocent death, because everyone becomes a target.

                            There is a reason why anti Muslim and anti Jewish rhetoric is on the rise, and inciting violence against either group is the reason for that.

                            Also you meant Israelis. Israelites are the Biblical group.

                            No, I used Israelite specifically in this case to reference the fucked up rhetoric and mentality of Israeli’s who believe they are Gods chosen people, have a right to every inch of land in the area, and getting that land by any means necessary is Gods will.

                              Yeah; and that is wrong. Should we be saying “die Canada” because of it? Or should we do what we can to get the government to stop?

                                  What? What is the IDF doing other than oppressing Palestinians? That’s literally their whole thing. Israel has sent hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Gaza whose whole purpose is to kill and displace Palestinians, not to mention their operations and enforcement of Apartheid in the West Bank. There is no way to be an innocent IDF soldier., because everything they do is evil.

                                    I would highly recommend you look up what “Conscription” is, and the consequences of avoiding service.

                                    Well there’s nothing can Palestinians can do to stop Israel except violence.

                                    One can clearly see that violence is not benefiting Palestinians, Israelis, Iranians, Lebanese, Syrians, or any other people involved in this.

                                      The only ones willing to stand up. Real artists doing what artists should do. I’ve been listening to both these bands. I’d love to see a show in Canada.

                                      Anti war speech has to be free speech. Declaring Israel the most moral army in the world, with ambitions for most humanitarian concentration camp in the world as absolute immutable truth is not just fascism in of itself, it is genocidal hasbara given evidence of opposite.

                                      Fascist media and political party unity on war, and which side of wars to support also affects online community moderation, some of which is paid by master empire to impose the fascist unity message.

                                      Ukrainian or Zionist diaspora imposing fascist limitations on speech, because they are politically valuable single issue diasporas, simply invalidates democracy and freedom. Instead of submitting to what is primarily US empire driven censorship and oppression, it would be reasonable to criminalize/censor support for an empire’s war/unjustifiable extortion against us, much less rethinking our programming for their propaganda.

                                        … For those fighting over there. Are you active military Mr armchair warrior? I’d like to see them all prosecuted and thrown into prison for the rest of their lives. Better, they should atone by rebuilding Gaza.

                                        Calling for anybody’s death and calling that Okay is how we got here in the first place.

                                        But what if sending them to the Hague wasn’t an option (and it’s usually not)? Wouldn’t it be better for them to die? Suggesting that isn’t the problem with the world. It definitely isn’t so exceptional that it should be cut out of the usual protections on freedom of expression.

                                        I didn’t say I personally am going to kill IDF soldiers, did I? If I had, that would either be true or I’d be an internet tough guy, but I didn’t.

                                          On the other hand, it’s perfectly valid to not want to knife either combatant in a knife fight, but just get them to stop endangering themselves and everyone around them. You know, without chanting “death to knife fighter A!”
