There are times contacting your representative in this way is important. When your road is fucked up or your local company is doing something they shouldn’t and nobody in the media or on the internet is talking about it.

But not literal genocide?

The representative is very well aware of what’s going on in Israel and is very aware of the protests and the opinions people have about it. You’re not informing them, and you’re not actually contributing anything by spamming them with phone calls about it.

And if you want to see literal genocide, let the Palestinians rule “from the river to the sea”. What they do to the Jews will make isis look like children in terms of their cruelty.

If you want to see literal genocide, turn on any TV and see what IDF is actually doing today, yesterday, tomorrow.

Not some hypothetical fictional Boogeyman.

They might not be, but they certainly can’t stop him or any future incarnations.

Unfortunately that sentiment is not unique to Hamas.
According to polling, the majority of Palestinians want to:

  • Destroy Israel, which is what, “from the river to the sea,” means (70%)
  • Deny Jews equal rights in their one-state solution (76%)
  • Continue violent resistance, reject peaceful solutions (52%)
  • Employ guerilla/terrorist strategies to do so (58%)
