curmudgeonesse.bsky.social @curmudgeonesse.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Genocide requires intent to destroy a people for who they are. In such cases, if the victims lay down what weapons they have, the killing accelerates. There’s no genocide in Gaza, but a war, and every day it continued was because Hamas made a decision. - E. Clarke 100
curmudgeonesse.bsky.social @curmudgeonesse.bsky.social · 28/09/2026In no genocide in human history have the victims controlled the off switch. Jews could not end the Holocaust by releasing hostages. The Tutsi could not stop the machetes by giving up arms. The Armenians, the Cambodians, the Yazidi—none of them could halt their own extermination by agreeing to terms. 101

Just read report. 140
curmudgeonesse.bsky.social @curmudgeonesse.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Yeah, and Hitler cared for dogs. Look, "Free Palestine's" implicit message is "Eliminate Israel." If he'd said "Free Palestine FROM HAMAS" or "2-State Solution Now" I'd be okay with it, but this simplistic gaslighting is untenable. 100

curmudgeonesse.bsky.social @curmudgeonesse.bsky.social · 08/09/2026No, they originated in Israel, were expelled by Babylonians and, later, Roman's, but there has ALWAYS been a Jewish presence. Jeez, read a little history. BTW, "Palestine" was the Roman name given to isolate Jews from their homeland (135 CE). 220
curmudgeonesse.bsky.social @curmudgeonesse.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Wrong. Israeli Jews also come from “ethnic cleansing” in Syria, Egypt, Iraq, Iran, Morocco,Yemen, Ethiopia, Afghanistan… The word “Jew” comes from Yehudah (Judea), the region around Jerusalem. 130

curmudgeonesse.bsky.social @curmudgeonesse.bsky.social · 29/08/2026You're condemning a country and people, many of whom oppose their government. The GOVERNMENT is wrong. BTW, were it a genocidal Nazi regime, they wouldn't stop military actions to vaccinate 1M Gazan children, notify residents where attacks would happen, and let the Gazan population triple. 100
