“um, akshully, it’s not genocide, but it might still be bad or whatever.” Ridiculous

Setting aside whether Israel’s attacks, killings, civilian casualties and mass displacement meet a particular definition of genocide, what possible reason does the author have to quibble on this?

Either they’re merely being pedantic (which I find hard to believe) or they’re trying to blunt outrage over what I think any reasonable person would call a genocide. They’re reaching for any means possible to make these crimes seem less heinous. Seems like a move of desperation to me.

I’m a Canadaland supporter for a reason. Gonna check out the others you mentioned

Fellow lazy person here. My various circles are pretty much all on discord since pandemic started. We’ve hopped platforms many times before, and given the uptick of enshittification on other platforms lately we’re sure we’ll do it again. Maybe even soon. But not yet!
