These ubiquitous claims of genocide are becoming so common and misapplied that the word has lost all meaning. Typical of what happens in Leftistan.

Ah yes, a Pithy Pragmatist armed with all the nuance of a bumper sticker and the geopolitical insight of a soggy placemat in a shitty settler café. You’ve attached a propaganda leaflet dressed up as a vocabulary lesson, which reads like a cry for help from someone who thinks colonialism is just enthusiastic real estate.

So genocide is just “war,” borders are sacred but only when you draw them, suicide bombing is apparently a cultural export (check your beeper) and moving civilians out of their homes at gunpoint is “getting them out of harm’s way.” How can you suck this much with all that blood and gore in your teeth.You're gaslighting dressed in khakis.

Oh the pearl-clutching over the word “genocide” losing its meaning: it hasn’t. You’re just allergic to it being applied to your pet states, whom exist as founder parties of the universally adopted definition. Funny how you never complain about misuse when it’s hurled at Russia or China tho, but the second someone utters the G-word near the Levant, suddenly you’re a lexicographer in mourning. Fucking spare me.

This whining about “Leftistan” is telling. You’re not defending language you’re defending power, and doing it so clumsily that even your talking points need a helmet. The only thing ubiquitous here is your contempt for basic historical memory and your unearned confidence in parroting hasbara as if it were wit. It's not. You are the man enthusiastically cheering the SS. You are the woman who picketed the desegregated school and menaced children. You are the constant idiot presence we are never without and that is a bloodthirsty shit talker.

Did you get ChatGPT to write that for you or are you working on your final creative writing project at Columbia? Anyway, trying to sift through all your peppery adjectives searching for anything of substance is so far not yielding much, but let’s see if i can tease out a thread or two.

You mentioned “colonialism” which i can only take as an advertisement for your own stupidity. But feel free to tell us how Israel is a colonial project. Queue the regurgitation of Said.

You threw a lump of feces against the wall called “genocide” apparently ignorant of the fact that no international authority has reached such a conclusion and under no definition found in international law is there a genocide in Gaza.

Suicide bombing - you seem confused on what this even means (hint - it’s not surgical beeper strikes).

The rest of your screed was just a bad case of postmodern verbal dysentery. I would suggest a walk in the fresh air and perhaps a colonic for your impacted shit-for-brain.

Sweety, honey, darling hear, you’ve confused condescension for coherence again.

The moment you typed “no international authority has reached such a conclusion,” you outed yourself as someone who only believes in international law when it launders atrocity. Genocide isn’t a branding issue awaiting official endorsement it’s a material process: intent, method, and outcome. It's all there. Smotrich is saying it live. The special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territories has already invoked the term with supporting evidence, but you wouldn’t know that, because you don’t consider things as they appear to others, or do genuine research. You can't allow yourself to. The fascist bubble would pop and your soft fragile eggshell mind would broil in its tank

As for colonialism, hey, I know it frightens you. You think if you mock Said or chant “not colonial!” enough times, the settlements will stop being settlements and start being quaint kibbutzim again, nut facts persist buddy. A settler state displacing an indigenous population through state violence and demographic engineering is a textbook case, not a seminar debate. The invention of a contrived claim of indigeneity to that region of the world was long in the planning and unfortunately for you, all written down. You're not arguing, you're just allergic to history. Herzl wouldn't be impressed.

Your suicide bombing quip is particularly rich coming from someone defending white phosphorus and mass starvation. Class. Integrity even lol. A euphemism-wielding apologist lecturing on moral clarity is like a mosquito bragging about hygiene.

And no, I didn’t use ai. I reserve artificial intelligence for tasks requiring intelligence. What I gave you was freerange contempt. What you offered in return was the rhetorical equivalent of a garden hose trying to put out a war crime. And you do this thing sir, because you are the quintessential bastard of the era.

You are not engaging in discourse. You are recycling denialism with the smugness of someone who’s never had to check their passport at a checkpoint or dig a child out of rubble. If there is shit on the wall it is yours

Now go back to your echo chamber of half-literate racist squatters and post your next reply under a picture of Hitler with the caption “me when they ask me for basic humanity”

Did you hear about the recent study trying to determine the ubiquity of smugness among leftists? Their conclusion was this happens after years of constantly inhaling the fecal matter in their own colons. The darkness contributes as well.

Anyway - international law: there’s a reason it exists (despite the efforts of Iranian sponsored bad actors like the dumpster fire that is South Africa) which is to adhere to consistent standards and not allow words to lose meaning (the favorite tactic of Marxists). All the evidence in Gaza points to Israel doing everything they can to avoid civilian casualties, despite Hamas doing everything they can to maximize them. And be sure to let us know when fringe figures like Smotrich are running the government and/or dictating IDF policy.

Colonialism - do you even know how to construct a coherent argument? I can only assume your vague impressionist word painting of displacement and indigenuity is referring to Israelis and so-called “Palestinians.” The real history shows that, despite their 100% claims to the contrary, the land of Israel was largely empty in the 19th century, and that the vast majority of “Palestinians” are actually relatively recent immigrants from Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Arabia, Algeria, etc.. You would know this if you read anything outside your Marxist-Leftistan bubble.

Scanning through the rest of your tedious comment, once again i found nothing of substance. Only the rantings of a tired old 60s ex-hippie who thinks insults are arguments and that Marx was profound. Word of post-hoc advice - in your next life, skip the sit-ins and the LSD free love raves (or whatever you old dudes called it) and crack some books written by people you could actually learn from - i.e., people with triple digit IQs.

Hei Berit! Vi jobber med å få medlemsskaps- registreringssystem på plass! Kan ikke si helt når det er på plass, for det er mye vi må finne ut av - har aldri vært med og stiftet en forening før 😊 Men om du vil, kan du melde deg inn med det samme. Da kan du sende en epost til grandmothersagainstgenocide @gmail com, og ta med navn og adresse og fødselsdato og epostadresse. Vi har ingen kontingent - ennå - tenkte at det trenger vi ikke. Og så er det noen steder det står at det må foreninger ha, så det er noe av det vi må finne ut av. I så fall kan det være en femtilapp i året, men da er det også mye mer som må gjøres. Må ha kasserer også da!😊
