The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Destroying Hamas does not automatically equate to a genocide in Gaza.

You should just stop there.
Destroying Hamas - the ruling power in the Gaza strip - is not remotely in the same universe as chanting 'from the river to the sea' while praising Hitler (as Hamas and its supporters do). Not. Even. Close.

But then you have to look at what Israel is doing and not just what they're saying. They sure seem to be prosecuting their side of the war with little regard to civilians.

If the Israelis were hellbent on 'genocide' - your word - there would be close to 500,000 casualties by now and *zero* food being delivered. There wouldn't be any 'roof knock' strikes - you may look that up - and there wouldn't be warnings for civilians to leave certain areas.

Instead they'd be carpet-bombing 24/7.

So it's not crazy at all to say that both sides are espousing genocide against the other.

Yes, it is. Coocoobananas level cray-cray, in fact.
