(26,947 posts)Palestinians? Israel has stepped over the line of self defense into the devastation of hundreds of thousands of Palestinian civilian lives. Death, lifelong injuries, and the destruction of homes, hospitals, and all life-giving infrastructure. They are left without shelter, food, or water. Genocide by any other name would smell as vile. Israel is telling them they must leave or die. What other choice do the Palestinian people have? They are not Hamas. They are not killing Israelis or holding hostages, but they are dying by the thousands and suffering catastrophic consequences for the actions of Hamas. The Nazis didn't kill all the Jews right away. They took away their homes, forced them to move into crowded ghettoes, and then killed them by the thousands. Is gas kinder than bombs?
