Why apologise? Genocide is comparable to genocide.

I can only assume he has been threatened into doing so.

Oh tell that to the annoying guy on every thread about Gaza claiming it is not a genocide because you cannot compare it to the Armenians or Rwanda and daring everyone to compare them to figure out the war in Gaza is not a genocide… Jfc

Even the ICJ is not calling it genocide. People don’t understand the difference between war crimes and genocide.

Deceptichum@kbin.social on 28 Jan 2024 23:05 next collapse

The ICJ is still looking into it, their preliminary vote has found the allegations to be “plausible”.

Argonne@lemmy.world on 29 Jan 2024 01:21 collapse

But yet they didn’t call it that yet. So I’m replying to that poster that made it clear it was genocide without any doubts.

dwalin@lemmy.world on 29 Jan 2024 13:27 collapse

The icj only decided that there is enough evidence to go forth with the case. They are not calling anything because they havent decided yet.

Because you’re not allowed to publicly criticize zionists.

ShroOmeric@lemmy.world on 27 Jan 2024 21:50 next collapse

Why apologies? That was correct.

theotherverion@lemmynsfw.com on 28 Jan 2024 21:09 collapse

No, it was not.

ShroOmeric@lemmy.world on 28 Jan 2024 22:09 collapse

It was and it is.

theotherverion@lemmynsfw.com on 29 Jan 2024 08:27 collapse

It isn’t. Scale is different, aim is different, the escalation was started by Hamas, not Israel.

ShroOmeric@lemmy.world on 29 Jan 2024 08:28 collapse

I’ll answer when you decide what you want to say and stop editing, k?

theotherverion@lemmynsfw.com on 29 Jan 2024 10:24 collapse

Alright. I just edited certain grammar mistakes in my post. In addition, the edit came seconds after the original post.

ShroOmeric@lemmy.world on 29 Jan 2024 12:54 collapse

What grammar it was a completly different post. I was replying to it when you changed it. Liar. :)

Gazumi@lemmy.world on 27 Jan 2024 22:06 next collapse

If the comparison can be particularized and specific, there is no need for an apology.

Reverendender@sh.itjust.works on 28 Jan 2024 04:55 next collapse

Was it, “Sorry not sorry?”

Sadly it has been a thing for a lot longer than it should have been.

theotherverion@lemmynsfw.com on 28 Jan 2024 21:12 next collapse

Even if we count Israel’s war crimes, this is extremely exaggerated and picked out of context.

By this logic, we can assume all Muslims are modern-day Nazis because what Hamas did was extremely antisemitic and they are Muslims.

Israel ≠ Jews. What is happening in Gaza is the fault of the fascist government of Israel, not “the Jews” - that is an actual neonazi talking point.

maness300@lemmy.world on 29 Jan 2024 09:40 collapse

Zionists didn’t like that.
