Please stop. I really don't know what you're arguing about or why. It feels like you want to argue with me as a proxy for the violence you can't affect?
Really I think I substantiated the issue pretty well. If you feel really strongly that there are not any accusations of genocide or colonization being made against jews in current discourse, maybe go correct the wikipedia articles I linked?

It is not our problem that you think that.

That is, of course, not even in sight of your original assertion. But you know that.

You really, truly don't see how people might be alienated by the kind of rhetoric, though? I mean, just look at your own tone in this subthread. Does that sound to you like a way to move me to your side of the argument? Ultimately that's really my point: people want to be angry. You want to be angry. But in this situation that just perpetuates the damage! Both sides are deserving of anger!
The best we can do is cool things down enough so people stop dying. And... you're making things worse, not better.
