Genocide? This is in fact what genocide looks like:

309. Perhaps I should have made my comments more specific.

Unfortunately, all the posts here villifying people who don't hold exactly the same position on the mess in Gaza as the villifyers run together in my mind, and it's hard to keep track of who has said exactly what. If I have attributed statements to anyone here that were actually made by others, I apologize.

However, I cannot apologize for sensing and reacting to the air of moral superiority that radiates from the posts of many here when discussing what has been happening in Israel. Whenever the people on one side of an issue believe that their stance is the only possible "right" and "moral" one, the door to any meaningful dialog is slammed firmly shut, and I hate seeing that happen at DU. But since I am unlikely to be able to change it, I should probably take my Israel supporting, Hamas despising ass out of this thread, just as I have stayed out of many others during these last 8 months, rather than shooting off my mouth (or keyboard). I was momentarily overtaken by my disappointment at the depths to which many of these "conversations" have sunk and felt a need to say something about it. Oh well.
