    Gaza is very small and very densely populated.

    Which is why everyone knows that you can’t carpet bomb it without genocidal consequences.

    They’ve known this for decades and still they keep doing it. Your bad faith excuses for genocide are more stale than Alexander Fleming’s bread.

      Your bad faith excuses for genocide

      This right here shows you didn’t actually understand what I’ve been writing.

        Nope. Saying “I don’t approve of it but it’s not genocide” when it’s clearly genocide is denying and thereby excusing genocide, no matter how much you scowl at it.
