The Biden Middle East War is Getting Uglier by the Week. Now It's Taking Over Our College Campuses.

@samueltyler2 Targeting civilians and killing more than 40,000 of them so far in Gaza is getting pretty close to genocide in my view. I do not support Hamas in any way, and Israel has a right to defend their national security, but what they are doing to Gaza is wrong. This is one of those situations where both sides are in the wrong.

@windinhishair It may be wrong to unnecessarily kill thouisands of innocent people, but, on the other hand, the killing itself does not constitute genocide, as by the definition:
Dictionary
Data from Oxford Languages
Enter a word
Look it up
gen·o·cide
[ˈjenəˌsīd]
noun
the deliberate killing or severe mistreatment of a large number of people from a particular national or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group:
"a campaign of genocide" · "news of genocides went unreported"

By the way, has anyone identified even the year the photo i posted was taken, let alone what city it was that was obliterated?

@samueltyler2 Whether the technical definition of genocide is met, what Israel is doing in Gaza is horrific and wrong ethically, morally, and legally. I completely understand the justifiable outrage around the world at their actions. But by carrying on a war against innocent Palestinians, they are detracting from the outrage against Hamas for their unprovoked attack on October 7.

@windinhishair words DO matter! War is always horrific and should be avoided. I am no military tactical expert, if you are, do you have a suggestion on how to prevent another horrific October 7? You do know that there are still missiles because NG shot into Israel on a daily basis or do you not see that detail?
