> In fact, since your whole response is filled with such absurdly one sided takes that ignore reality, I have to assume you are trolling.

I'm not trolling. I simply disagree with you (and think you're wrong on a bunch of facts). If every time someone disagrees with you or presents another point of view, you think they're trolling, that might explain why you continue to be wrong. I'm going to try to engage as honestly as I can and take you completely at face value, and ask real questions, and I urge you to please do the same.

> How is not allowing food, water, and aid into Gaza not Israel doing those things? How is the indiscriminate bombings of Gaza not any of those things? You are just denying reality to suit your point.

Neither of these things are happening, despite what a lot of people claim. But let's play devil's advocate for a minute and say, yes, Israel is doing these things - why aren't there hundreds of thousands of starving Palestinians? Why aren't there hundreds of thousands of dead Palestinian civilians by the supposedly indiscriminate Israeli bombings?

I'm totally serious in asking this. You're making a factual claim about the world, which if I understand it correctly, is that Israel is committing genocide against the Palestinians. I'm claiming your facts are wrong. The best way to settle such disagreements is with proof and data. So let's see - how many Palestinians have died in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict?

According to the UN site listing casualties, between 2008 and September 2023 (not including the current conflict), there were ~6,400 casualties. Of these, ~4,000 were civilians. [1]

All deaths are regrettable. I sincerely believe that. I wish that number were 0. But do you honestly think that 4,000 dead civilians is evidence of Israel trying to commit genocide? Hamas literally killed a quarter of that number of Israelis in half a day two weeks ago!

For reference, the number of casualties during the war in Afghanistan, 2001-2021 (so a comparable span of years) - 176k. 49k civilians. [2] So the US has killed literally 12 times more civilians in Afghanistan. Is the US trying to cause an Afghani genocide?

For even more reference, number of people killed in the Syrian civil war - 300k civilians. Every death is a tragedy, especially of civilians. But these numbers aren't even close to being in the same ballpark! How can you honestly, with a straight face, say that Israel is trying to cause a genocide?

> That’s their land? Are you kidding? The entirety of what is called Israel now is their land, along with fellow Jews. Do you think people haven’t read the history of the area? To even say that shows an incredible ignorance of the history of the area.

And here's the rub. You're saying (if I parsed it correctly) that all of Israel should actually belong to the Palestinians. Ok. I think that's a pretty ridiculous point of view to have, given the actual history of the region, given that Israel was actually voted to have that land by the UN, which is a far more peaceful way of getting land than, oh, just about every other country on Earth. That's the bottom line, that's why Israel can't have peace - because the precondition for peace among many people seems to be "you, Israel, have to disappear, and we're not very bothered what happens to the people currently living there".
