my original comment? Didn't even once mention genocide.

Just talked about the fact that there's an ongoing war, which is very much true. I don't think there's any global entity that hasn't classified this as a war. Even germany was committing war during their little escapade.

Do i think that israel is committing genocide? Idk, it depends on the definition of genocide on whether or not that actually holds up the local population at hand, because i know very little about the demographics of the middle east, weird how that one works.

Do you think war IS genocide, and that genocide is not war? Because that would be a weird way to phrase things. I don't think you can classify war itself as genocide, based on the very act of war itself, being fundamentally irrelevant most of the time, and the times it has been relevant, it's only tangentially relevant.
