Fair enough but you seemed to imply a bit more with the last 2 sentences of your post.The article said 'Ethnic Cleansing' and that the situation in Palestine is the 'Largest' since WW2
I just pointed out that this is not true

Do you accept that Israel is carrying out a genocide against the Palestinian people?The article said 'Ethnic Cleansing' and that the situation in Palestine is the 'Largest' since WW2

A few points on the above:
Maybe more should have been done to stop the other conflicts you mention but that doesn't mean a blatant act of genocide such as this shouldn't be called out at every opportunity.
- All of them happened within internal borders except a couple of the African ones I would guess
- The Israeli Palestinian conflict has been in the news regularly since at least the 60's
- The West is responsible for the modern day creation of the Israeli state - this isn't like in Africa where it was France or Britain or the Netherlands, this was the victors agreeing after WWII what should happen with the Jewish people and giving them a homeland
- Israel positions itself as part of the West and has been supported by the West for decades, especially the US, and therefore having one of "our own" commit the atrocities they are committing is a stain on how the "civilised" West sees itself
- To be doing this so visibly in front of the whole world without anyone acting to stop them shows a taboo has been broken and if so why can't another Western country go down a similar route in the future.
To add I don't think anyone is calling Hamas an innocent party but this has gone well beyond being about Hamas, this is about genocide, land grabs, and collective punishment of 2.3 million people............why would what is simultaneously happening in the West Bank be happening if this was still about Hamas??
Where did I deny that it was happening?Do you accept that Israel is carrying out a genocide against the Palestinian people?
I didn’t say you did. I’m asking if you think that it is a genocide?Where did I deny that it was happening?
What ethnic cleansing was done in N Korea?The article said 'Ethnic Cleansing' and that the situation in Palestine is the 'Largest' since WW2
I just pointed out that this is not true
You mean that Hamas set these actions in motion?Fair enough but you seemed to imply a bit more with the last 2 sentences of your post.
That wasn't my point.So Ethnic Cleansing doesn't count (for being the largest) unless it satisfies certain parameters ?
Parameters that seem so narrow that it can be only be the Israel & Palestine conflict..
So the article should be the :Largest Ethnic Cleansing Since WW2 that pinko liberals can virtue signal about.
Fair enough so
What difference does it make? Other than a chance for you to virtue signalI didn’t say you did. I’m asking if you think that it is a genocide?
You could claim the entire feckin populationWhat ethnic cleansing was done in N Korea?
