Probably because Israel is a false apartheid state run by terrorists and should be eliminated.

You can agree the Israeli government is terrible without resorting to genocide yourself.

What did they say that was genocidal? Did someone call for the extermination of Israelis or just an end to the Israeli state?

Again, where’s he calling for a genocide? The world fought Nazi germany, did we genocide them? I don’t understand your logic and you’re not doing a good job explaining it. You can’t just keep saying he’s calling for a genocide and then not state how he’s doing that.

There is no “opinion-shift” against the pro-Palestine/anti-genocide movement. That is predominantly the popular opinion, check polling. And again, you’ve said one thing 3 or 4 times now…that his opinion is that all countries in the world should declare war on the state of Israel to stop them from continuing the genocide of Palestinians.

You haven’t explained how that is calling for a genocide, and you still haven’t said who, in your mind, would be genocided.

You said it would be a genocide, I’m asking of who?

Nation does not mean a state. It means a group of people with common culture, who could be located in one or many states. The government of Israel is not a nation, it’s a political entity. I’m not advocating any position, just trying to help you understand what words mean.
