@vriska @icedquinn @yakmacker theres definitely a genocide of gazans in particular. whether its totally intentional is somewhat debatable but that rhetoric exists in israeli political discourse. you can't completely control a territory and bomb it without caring what youre bombing while blocking food and medical treatment without it being at the very least a genocidal massacre.
I'll address your previous comment:
-the hebrew language only exists because it was a liturgical language which was revived with great effort after not being the common tongue for millennia.
-the israelites were actually forcibly converted, this is what happened to the lost ten tribes not to mention the crusades, the Inquisition, etc. it is estimated that there were up to 7 million jews in the roman empire, there are only about twice that today despite the world population increasing so much since then. the bar kochba resulted in the dispossession of almost the entire judean population. you already know about the holocaust, I could go on.
-most of those killed in the troubles were civillians, but an order of magnitude less than the low estimate of total gazan death, so i wont press this comparison. you misunderstand me if you think I'm comparing the republic of ireland to the state of israel. its irish americans (who comprise the vast majority of irish) who took part in the american colonial project. and the irish irish wouldve been major slavers like the Scottish were if not for english laws clamping down on irish ports.
-telling me to "know my role" is very cringe. I know you say I don't know much about this but I did some research after being criticized for saying most scholars dont consider the potato famine a genocide. and calling the killing of the irish at any point in history "industrial" is just wrong, its not merely a holocaust with swords, the scale is much smaller than a modern genocide and the people targeted werent merely the religious. there were massacres, but a full genocide with direct killing (destroying infrastructure and it causing disease or not helping is different) is not something scholarship agrees on.
