Palestinians are at #8.

43 points

Pretty sure once you’re killing hundreds per day it’s reached stage 9. Stage 8, they’ve been at for decades now (occasional massacres for some, systematic semi-deadly oppression and isolation and exclusion for all with the threat of more at any time).

All of Palestine has been a ghetto since the wall went up in the 1990s.

Given they’re lying about casualty rates and killing reporters I’d say that’s a easy ten.

Damn. U.S. conservatives are at stage 6 or 7 with trans people.

And this graphic is from the Holocaust Memorial Trust? Well, isn’t that just exploding with irony?

Still not a genocide going on no matter how you spin it.

Seems like a lot of people disagree with you. Maybe you’re wrong.

My friend, you can define words however you like, but the numbers of dead bodies won’t change because of it.

I didn’t change the words, you all have been eaten up by Iranian propaganda and you feel guilt enough to embrace it. I don’t. Also your hamas fed numbers keep changing.

Oh this is getting interesting. Now you’re telling me there’s some massive Iranian propaganda machine that’s getting all around the globe, and somehow it’s magically stronger than the U.S. propaganda machine. If that’s true, can we just fire all of the top brass in the Pentagon because they’re basically incompetent?

If what you’re saying is accurate, but seems like people ought to lose their jobs.

Guess they bit off more than they could chew when they said all Jews must die and the state of Israel must be destroyed.

So it’s a justified genocide then?

Well, they’re justifying moving from stage 8 to stage 9 because the ghetto people fought back.

Please remind me, weren’t there a couple of Israeli politicians calling Palestinians human animals and asking to drop nuclear bombs on top of them.

Or weren’t some far right looting trucks full of humanitarian aid for famine ridden Gaza.

I can definitely continue this list or you can do yourself a favour by reading some Wikipedia page on the subject, and while at it you can also check (pick a random non affiliated with Israel human rights organisation) think of Israel’s treatment of Palestinians.

Hm, I wonder why Palestinians wanted the settler-colonial state of Israel to not exist. Hm. Could it be that the state of Israel has been systematically invading and stealing Palestinian land? And that they’ve been quite vocal about their goals to do so?

Would you also denounce Native Americans for wanting the United States to not exist anymore? Were they wrong for their violent retaliations in the 1800s? After years of genocide, lies, and enslavement?

It makes sense to support the Arabs who got displaced from their homes by Israeli settlers, as well as Jews who were forced out of theirs due to their religion and had nowhere else to go but Israel, but if you’re a member of one of those groups and can’t empathise with the other (eg Hamas, IDF and their supporters) then you should get no sympathy at all.

So you’re saying you have no sympathy for Palestinians who dislike the IDF, who have been continuously murdering them and stealing their land? That is what you’re saying right?

It’s clear that Israel has bigger guns. Why would you even mention that? The question here is morality, not munitions.

By the way, how many of the dead actually wished for all Jews to die? Of course most of them didn’t. Of course most of them just wanted to live their lives in peace. Sigh.

We don’t hate Jews, but we do hate Israel. The two things are in no way synonymous. There are non Zionist Jews, and there are non Jewish Israelis. Some Israelis are against what their state is doing too, regardless if they actually are Jewish or not.

Although for some reason some people in my country definitely hate both. I have spoken to a friend of mine yesterday who said he wanted the Jews gone. I don’t think I should continue trusting that guy.
