    the worldnews thread on this article is a cesspit of genocide apologia.

    It's clearly and openly dishonest. The Isreali ministers of government, including the Prime Minister and President of Israel, were openly announcing their intent not one day after October 7th of their desire to ethnically cleanse and destroy Palestine and Gaza as a polity and a people.

    Any proof showing the death, suffering, starvation, and ruination of Gazan Palestinians is Hamas propaganda according to them.

    I want to believe most of these are bots or paid posters, but I can absolutely believe there is a multitude of just depraved and cruel white supremacists of different flavors.

      If you're having second thoughts or wish to rely on primary sources instead of treating the accusation of genocide as dogma, you can find South Africa's documented case against genocide against Israel here: https://www.icj-cij.org/sites/default/files/case-related/192/192-20231228-app-01-00-en.pdf

      This is an opinion article by Chris Hedges, but he cites his sources and observations to root them in concrete fact:
