This is my first account on Lemmy after lurking it for several months. Not everyone who is against Kiwifarms is the same person lol

You do realize that simply linking to something in a place like that once isn't the same as being that individual, right?

OK genocide denier 😂

I define genocide by its Latin roots.

Geno = gene

Cide = death

Basically eliminating a people for being in a certain naturally occurring human group.

The British often selected their targets of war based on who could sustain them the most with slaves. That could be called genocide.

Japan has disability-based infanticide ingrained in its cultural practices. That could be called genocide.

Israel and Palestine have both done some horrid things to each other and deprived each other of basic needs. That isn’t something where genocide comes to mind.

There is a difference between agenda-based war and wishing to dissect a land’s demographics.

How is that genocide denial?

What Israel is doing to Palestine IS a genocide. there's no debate about that

It's a war crime. Not all war crimes are a genocide. Certain criteria have to be fulfilled for that. Similar to how not all mass shootings are acts of terrorism. Are you really dedicating a whole confrontation just to debate semantics?

[–] frenchfryenjoyer@lemmings.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

😂 it ain't semantics, it's facts. ADL is a Zionist source and is unreliable btw

Amnesty International investigation concludes Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza

I'm going by dictionary definitions, not what a certain biased organization says. I wouldn't deny both of the organizations you mention there are biased. But the dictionary isn't.

Suppose you are right and the ADL is biased and controlled "by Zionism" (which sounds a bit like a conspiracy theory). What does that make the Snopes organization? What does that make the literal 50% of America who doesn't disagree with the ADL? What does that make the people who call it a double standard that so many people are willing to support murder of one kind but not another, or that intentions matter sometimes but not all the time?
