You are the one pulling an ad hominem, not me. You ignore my answer to your “argument” and go on to attack my person.
No I didn’t, everything was specific to your argument. I said nothing about you. As for your argument, well I guess I’m glad that I’m promoted to teenager now.
Your entire argument is “without the context of the site we’re on, no-one could know what this is referring to”, as if this was some sort of “both sides” bullshit, which you claim to despise.
But the argument I’m making is that both sides are guilty of claiming the other side is defending genocide not that both sides are guilty of committing genocide right now. The argument that one side is defending genocide is bad faith, as other than a few extremists nobody on either side is actually defending genocide.
“I have ordered a complete siege on the Gaza Strip. There will be no electricity, no food, no fuel, everything is closed,” Gallant says following an assessment at the IDF Southern Command in Beersheba.
“We are fighting human animals and we are acting accordingly,” he adds.
THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — Accused of committing genocide against Palestinians, Israel insisted at the United Nations’ highest court Friday that its war in Gaza was a legitimate defense of its people and that it was Hamas militants who were guilty of genocide.
More than 23,000 people in Gaza have been killed during Israel’s military campaign, according to the Health Ministry in the Hamas-run territory. That toll does not distinguish between civilians and combatants. Nearly 85% of Gaza’s people have been driven their homes, a quarter of the enclave’s residents face starvation, and much of northern Gaza has been reduced to rubble.
… this amounts to genocide and is part of decades of Israeli oppression of Palestinians.
“The scale of destruction in Gaza, the targeting of family homes and civilians, the war being a war on children, all make clear that genocidal intent is both understood and has been put into practice. The articulated intent is the destruction of Palestinian life,” said lawyer Tembeka Ngcukaitobi, adding that several leading politicians had made dehumanizing comments about people in Gaza.
You still aren’t addressing the point they were making. They weren’t claiming either side to be ethically, morally, or objectively correct. They were simply stating that both sides of the conflict have claimed the other is attempting a genocide of their own side.
You are trying to argue the objective facts of the situation, poorly at that, not the propaganda. They were commenting on the propaganda, not the facts.
The point is that him demanding there’s “both sides” to this is true as much as it would be true that “both sides claim the other has false science” when arguing Flat Earthers.
It’s disingenious and bad faith to pretend there are “both sides” to this. There aren’t.
I can show you thousands of pages and people talking about Israel committing genocide on Palestine.
Can you show me a single page where anyone says that PALESTINE is committing trying to commit genocide?
Hint: google “palestine genocide” and “israel genocide” and tell me just how many links concern Palestinians being the victims of a genocide and how many there are saying they’re committing one?
Yes, Israel loves to yell about “Hamas is trying to kill us” but Hamas isn’t Palestine and an attack on a country doesn’t qualify as genocide. Not to even mention how hypocritical it is of Israel to accuse Hamas of a genocide in the current situation when they’re fervently trying to deny the genocide they’re committing in broad daylight. Almost as ironic as you saying my arguing is poor. Thanks for the laughs, lol.
You acting that childish — proudly — is honestly making me sad in real life.
The implication of the first comment of this thread is that there are “both sides” to this. There aren’t. Who exactly is saying “Palestine is committing a genocide on Israelis?”
Trying to pretend both sides are in any way “as bad” is exactly the type of shitty propaganda Israel keeps pushing. The same type of rhetoric the Nazis used. It’s so fucking ironic that Jewish people are now committing the heinous crimes they were the victims of 100 years ago.

what an incredibly naive and basic take on a geo political (historical) conflict that is still ongoing.
If we’re going to analyze this from a clinical perspective, as would be implied by “both sides” we need to consider the actions of both sides, independently to each other. In a manner that is unrelated. This is the only way to truly “both sides” something.
Looking at it in any other capacity is entirely irresponsible and disingenuous at best.
Only a literal child considers both sides exclusively in the capacity of “genocide” in this case. This is like saying that the US won the space race because we got to the moon and back, with people. Even though the USSR did literally everything else before the US did.

INSTEAD OF
I very clearly pointed out what’s wrong with your.
“Both sides”
See. You’re pulling the ridiculous “both sides” bullshit.
No it isn’t. You’re just pretending it is, willfully ignoring the reality of the situation. Israel is most definitely defending a genocide.

He never claimed that. Your anger fueled tirades put those words in his mouth.
Ah the old “implications don’t exist”.
Pretending “both sides are accusing each other of…” in cases like this is a textbook example of bad faith arguing.
I agree you absolutely have been arguing in bad faith this entire thread.
