Genocide and colonization, you forgot those two.
To the extent that I would use those terms, I'd withhold some of my judgement.
If the Israelis are committing genocide, it's of a people obsessed with destroying them.
If it's colonisation, it's colonisation with about a dozen caveats.
That doesn't make things any better for Gazans, for whom I also have sympathy.
The aspect of the original comment that I was poking fun of is that it is reductive.
>If the Israelis are committing genocide, it's of a people obsessed with destroying them.
That's the same justification used by a certain failed Austrian painter.
Genocide is never right.
