    This map will go down in the history books when they will speak about the Palestinian Genocide.

    Future generations will ask how we let that happen.

      The current generation isn’t asking lots of questions about Uigurs, Armenians, etc.

      So x for doubt

        America isn’t genociding Uyghurs though. Everyone thought the West was above this shit by now with all the decades of talk about equality.

        Now everyone has to come to terms that the West is stil on 1940’s Ubermensch genocide level of moral standards.

          America isn’t genociding anyone right now.

          Also, America has been rather ruthless in its external policies since WWII. See Vietnam for example.

          Also, the USA aren’t the entire West.

            This is some crazy genocide denial.

            It’s like denying the holocaust when the internet exists and videos of it are out there and you can see it happening right in front of your eyes.

            Europe is aiding in the genocide as well, especially Germany, the Netherlands and the UK. Though you are right there are still countries like Ireland, Spain and Belgium that at least call for ceasefire.

              This is some crazy genocide denial.

              What a rubbish take

              How many people have the US killed in Palestine? Because if the answer is zero then they aren’t committing genocide.

              Same for Germany, the Netherlands, and the UK.

      The map looks very similar to others during the cold war (US supporting apartheid, a variety of dictatorships and colonial movements and genocidal regimes) yet, you don’t really see anyone asking how the US people let that happen.

            In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:

            1. Killing members of the group;
            2. Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
            3. Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
            4. Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
            5. Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

            That’s directly from the UNs genocide convention.
