I love this. I really do.

I'm accused of wanting to gеnоcidе all Palestinians when I point out that Hamas is a terrorist organization. Then I'm accused of wanting to destrоy Israel when I point out that Israel is committing gеnосіԁе.

Makes perfect sense.

Maybe its the word genocide?

I for one find it really jarring when used as a verb.

@MistyCee I'm really not sure what else to call it. Each side wants the other to be completely gone.

@LordShadowfire Mass murder maybe?
Or focus on the land rather than the people.

I'm not saying there it's not accurate, but that word has a lot of baggage.

@MistyCee And rightly so. I don't toss it around lightly. I reserve it for when I mean that somebody wants every member of a race, religion, or nation out of their country, one way or another.

The Israeli government under Netanyahu wants all the Palestinians out of Gaza. Hamas wants all the Israelis out of Israel.

@LordShadowfire One way or another might be the key for some who took offense.
