Journalist Prem Thakker presses the White House spox after Amnesty International concludes Israel is committing genocide. Prem references many examples of Israel’s most recent attacks, including killing a wheelchair-bound teenager: “How many acts of genocide does it take to make a genocide?”

Do you think he and is it Matt Miller? or whoever else are walking, talking ghouls who believe the lying lies they spew from their lie holes? Or do you think they’re filled with self-loathing and are disgusted with the circus act they’re putting on for the American media? I’m genuinely curious about their honest, personal opinions.

I always wondered about that, because saying this bs is their job.

I remember though that Some of the Biden administration has resigned over Isreal's actions, and this was nearly the beginning of the year. So there is that as well.

I think most of these kind of people will either racionalize it and consider it necessary for whatever the fuck they want to convice themselves will be a greater good.

Others will attempt to delude themselves that is being greatly exagerared. Much like a typical german citizen during nazi germany just to be able to try to sleep at night.

Some small percentage are psycho/goulish enough to enjoy the suffering and death.

Don't you antisemites understand? Israel is the most moral country in the Universe! Unless it says specifically that it's committing a genocide, then it's not genocide!

ICC, ICJ, HRW, Amnesty International, B'Tselem, AJ+, BBC sometimes, CNN sometimes, Piers Morgan sometimes, France on some occasions, family of the USS Liberty crew's family members, they are all anti semites that hate Jews!

Unfounded? Wow!

This is what baffles me. Their argument isn't "we looked at the facts and don't think it meets the criteria for genocide" - they're literally saying that the UN and Amnesty rulings have no basis in fact. It's all malicious, willful lies from this guy's mouth.

Genocide is the deliberate destruction of a national, ethnic, racial, religious, or tribal group, in whole or in part. It can involve: Killing members of the group Causing serious harm to members of the group Deliberately inflicting conditions of life to destroy the group Imposing measures to prevent births within the group Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group Starvation Forced deportation Political, economic, and biological subjugation The term “genocide” comes from the Greek prefix genos, which means race or tribe. The United Nations Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide was adopted in 1948 and came into effect in 1951. The convention defines genocide as a crime under international law, and requires signatories to prevent genocide and prosecute its perpetrators. As of January 2024, 153 countries have ratified the convention. The International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruled in 1951 that the convention’s international law applies even to countries that have not ratified it.

Can't even look them in the eyes as he delivers a waffling, nothing answer.

[u/Unusual_Specialist58]

The levers are sanction them back to the Stone Age and stop funding and arming the genocide. If they have concerns, then take action. Who cares if you consider it a genocide.

[u/PHNTMS_exe]

He must've not seen what happened to that CEO. People already tired, man.

[u/fowms]

So we are concerned....

[u/Ok-Canary-5061]

Ot the good guys anymore not for a long time now

[u/Massiv_v]

Oh I like what this guy did there the way he worded his statement that really meant , we couldn’t care less about a genocide we are apart of .

[u/tbkrida]

I don’t even entertain these people and their responses. We all know what is happening. We all know it is wrong. Full stop.

[u/cocokronen]

We have found it to he unfounded...that being said..... politics are just trash in the us.

I can’t help but wonder: Did Hitler see this coming and want to prevent the end of the world by eliminating the Jewish people? Is it justified that because the Jewish community suffered through such a horrible thing that they are now free to dole out the same kind of atrocities on another sect of people? And because the world feels bad about the holocaust, we just let Isreal do what ever it wants to do like an abused foster care child lashing out because of a self inflicted wound? Tomorrow the same will tolerable for the martyrs left behind from Palestine when they band together and seek revenge from the world just like UBL did and convinced others to join him. This is not the way problems are solved. India has been a victim of innumerable terrorist attacks from their neighboring countries since it gained its freedom in 1947. Be it Pakistan, Sri Lanka, China. If India went to this same extreme as isreal has, the world would have seen WW3 yonks ago. India, didn’t even retaliate or avenge those they lost in these terrorist attacks but only stood strong in unity amongst their citizens and remained as the wiser older and mature big brother. Why can not Isreal do the same? And it’s not as if they didn’t have insight or weren’t forewarned before it happened, they just didn’t give a shit until after it happened. Why should the world and people who desperately want to regain a normal livelihood and that have no say in these political matters be the one to suffer and die?

Fascism spread across Spain, Italy, and Germany in the wake of WW1, but people fail to realize it also took hold among zionist Jewish settlers immigrating to mandate Palestine. A fascistic Jewish terrorist organization called the Irgun committed bombings and terrorized the native Palestinian population, and set of a tit for tat battle.

After the allied powers rolled back the tide of fascism, Israel was formally created as a nation, stealing land from the native Palestinian population. The fascists in Israel, the Irgun party, were incorporated into the military and the dominant Conservative party that has become the modern day Likud party.

The ruling party, and the party of Netanyahu, has its origins as a racist fascistic terrorist organization.

We stamped out fascism across Europe, only to fail to recognize the infection was still there. The Likud party is going to carry out the Zionist version of the Third Reich, and the American government is going to fund it in order to destabilize the Middle East for the sake of US financial interests.
