    I suspect your efforts here might be wasted

    Lemmys collective view amounts to i) Israel is deliberately, capriciously, methodically committing genocide “isn’t it obvious” ii) anything Hamas does is Israel’s fault iii) the solution is “obviously” for Israel to make peace with a group consisting of some 25,000 psychopathic islamic extremists.

    Lemmy’s plan for extremist Jews and Arabs to coexist is… wait… it was around here… somewhere… where’s it gone?..

    (Downvotes if you can’t articulate a plan, please)

      It’s not genocide because…an internet discussion group can’t come up with any solution?

      That’s taking the goalposts and shoving them off the cliff.

      We (including you, unless you’d care to share some credentials) are all laymen here. Therefore, the logical thing to do is to look to the opinions of experts. The experts and scholars generally agree that Israel is committing genocide. The article even admits that (in the sentence I quoted above). Are you, like the article’s author, suggesting that your expertise trumps these experts and scholars?

      Lemmy’s dominant view amounts to Israel evil.

      make peace

      Talking about peace has become more rare. Calls for the destruction of Israel are leading the pack.

      The whole I/P situation is complex, terrible, polarized, heavily propagandized, and on a bad trajectory.

      Actually trying to understand the situation and listening to all voices is difficult. It’s much easier to westsplain the situation with „colonizer“, „justice“, „racism“, and „oppression“. This serves really well to paint oneself in the most morally virtuous light.

      Just a little bit of nuance would be helpful.
