Not a determining factor. Genocide is the commission of one of the five prohibited acts with the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, any national, ethnical, racial or religious group.
A bit hard to show "intent to destroy" if for 77 years of rule, they haven't actually done it, though. I mean, in what other "genocide" did the population grow , year over year, for 77 years? Can you name a single one where the population grew for even five years of "genocide"?

I don't know how you can extrapolate "look how generous the Israelis are" from the undeniable fact that they are blocking aid and not nearly enough is let in.
The israelis are oppressing the shit out of the palestinians. But we cant have a conversation about that if youre gonna make shit up like "Israelis also actively prevent any aid from reaching gaza" which is just obviously not true. Be honest, and if youre going to lie at least make it believable.

Funny how easy it is to forget that guerilla terrorist actions were introduced to the region by Zionists in the 1940s: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_David_Hotel_bombing Just to name a notable event amongst many. Many of the masterminds of the early Zionist insurgency later became top Israeli government officials. Sad to think that Jews and Arabs lived ok side by side. Right wing radicals realized their destiny…
Why are we changing the topic? This isn't a "who started" question. The assertion was that Palestinians are murdering Israeli civilians only because of how they're are treated in the West Bank and in Gaza. And that's somehow justified. My example shows this is clearly not true. Palestinians murdered Israeli civilians when the West Bank and Gaza were not even under Israeli control. And well before that as well. The co…

Can you remind us whether this bus attack in which 11 people died came before or after the 1948-1949 Plan Dalet during which over 500 Arab villages were destroyed or depopulated by military forces under the direction of later first prime minister of Israel David Ben-Gurion? The plan's tactics involved laying siege to Palestinian Arab villages, bombing neighbourhoods of cities, forced expulsion of their inhabitants, a…
Why are we moving the goal posts? Parent claims the violence is simply due to: "The idea of Hamas wouldn't exist if Gaza (and the West Bank) wasn't occupied by land, air and sea; their land stolen on a daily basis, and Palestinian people treated as subhuman animals." This is not true. And this is what I'm addressing in my reply. We can litigate 1948 as well. Plenty of Palestinian violence pre-1948. Their refusal to a…

I believe he was referring to the constant barrage of anti-media rhetoric by Republicans. You can't trust the main stream media, the legacy media is lying, etc Why would they do this it the media is controlled by them?
Republican voters can see many if not all of the same economic ills in society that Democrat voters do. In some cases they can even agree on the cause. I'm not going to stand next to how right-wing media (and its eager audience) may characterize "main stream media". But I do think the window of representation across how americans see and characterize ourselves through newsrooms in general has narrowed too far (in its…

How so? The plane didn't turn around, Trump still has numerous supporters so the public doesn't care, and none of his admin has been punished.
Last time I saw, the entire Supreme Court was requesting that the Executive return people, what means punishment may be a couple of weeks away. It may not happen, but it's not a given right now.

Exactly, it's the "they're the same anyway", "both sides" equivalency that allows the buildup of antidemocratic de-politicization and apathy. This is one of the goals of the _there_is_no_truth_ radicalization that is fundamental to Russian political control
Ehh, I’ve got not particular stake in this conflict so it’s really interesting to see how each side is using propaganda and how obvious the propaganda is when you’re not emotionally invested. Each side is using different tactics to fit the strength of their positions and how well various messages resonate. “They are the same anyway” is useful for a side who wants people to be inactive, it’s not some universal benefit…

Are both sides doing all these things in equal amounts?

Listen to their ministers and people in charge and they clearly state the intent outright. This latest conflict has exposed everything.
