    Recently had someone argue Palestine isn’t genocide because the Arab population in Israel is going up.

    Any obsession with birth rates is a red flag for brain worms, as surely as talking about skull shape.

      There’s some fair clause that it is a genocide, though if it is, it goes both ways. That and most of the conditions that Palestine and Gaza put themselves in are from their own mistakes and faults in the past, such as declaring war a few times (and losing all of them), attacking their neighbouring countries and attacking Europe.

      Not that this justifies Israel’s violence. They were killing innocent Arabs before Hamas.
