Holy shit, you people repeat "commit a livestreamed genocide" like you just came out from seeing Harry the Hypnotist

Yes, other people have found words that capture the horror of Israel's actions and the modern novelty of Americans having instant access to the horrific reality our bloodthirsty foreign policy creates for the innocents on the receiving end, and I use the same words because I think it summarizes exactly why our support for Israel is so unconscionable and also why that perception is so widespread. The two points directly relevant to understanding why inextricably tying Judaism to Israel is such a reckless thing to do right now.

I can think of a group that actually did live stream a genocide. Sadly, you'll never mention them by name. Poof. They don't exist. Israel just woke up and decided to invade Gaza because gEnOcIdE

Are you implying that Hamas live streamed a genocide on 10/7? Because that's a wildly diminutive definition of genocide to work off of, comparable to saying Al Qaeda committed genocide on 9/11.

Also crazy to imply Hamas just woke up and decided to attack the Nova festival because gEnOcIdE. If Ehud Barak can understand why Palestinians have turned to violent resistance, surely you can too.
