This comment was in response to someone expressing regret about joining .ml if I recall correctly

Edit: I’m convinced all this guy does is camp out in front of his computer and wait for an excuse to abuse what itty bitty power he has.

    Great, so we agree. White people committed a genocide against the Indians when they conquered the Americas, just like Muslims committed a genocide against the Jews when they conquered the Middle East.

      Accepting that premise for the sake of the argument, since the history of the region’s disruption of the Jewish population predates Islam, so does that genocide justify another genocide some hundreds of years later?

          Holy fucking shit dude, if you aren’t aware that the Jewish diaspora significantly pre-dates Islam and that there was no longer a Jewish majority in the region by the 7th century AD, I can’t fucking help you.

          It doesn’t.

          Okay, so far you’re in agreement, then, that contrary to your initial claim, ethnic cleansing is NOT an acceptable response, you just disagree as to whether ethnic cleansing is ongoing. Is that correct?

              Not sure I understand. Wouldn’t a clear ethnic majority in an area being removed to make way for a minority only make ethnic cleansing more apparent than the reverse?

              Is what Russia doing to the Ukraine an ethnic cleansing, considering their lack of diversity?

              Yes, absolutely.

            Hamas is the one ethnically cleansing. The IDF isn’t. Remember, Hamas has been very explicit about wanting to kill every single Jew. It’s even in their charter. The IDF meanwhile does not want more Jews to die.

                You are arguing with someone that believes in the 40 decapitated babies lie because the IDF said so. Just a heads-up that you are wasting your time like I did.

                  Okay, why would the IDF decapitate 40 babies? Id might believe it if it was some sort of accident, but the only group shown to deliberately kill children is Hamas.
