Yes. This has been my claim all along.Just because lots of people were killed during an event doesn't make each slaughter a genocide.

Inbreed. Matter of fact they got a helluva head start on that!Nah...you have it ass-backwards. I think when you have generation after generation of Palestinians taught to commit murder....it's impossible for them to get along with Jews.
Which is better, getting rid of people that seem to have open minds.....or getting rid of people who have been brainwashed into thinking that everything bad in the world is because of Israel?
Not to mention the fact that all Palestinians have done for decades is work toward killing their neighbors. They're essentially wards of the state and cannot operate a society on their own. But Israel can. And you want to displace the only Democracy in the Middle-East in favor of a group of people who will need caring for forever. What will Palestinians do when they don't have someone to blame all of their crap on?
Oh contraire.All you're demonstrating is that you know nothing about the region other than being programmed to hate people who you have never even met by Fox News etc.
The rational world strongly opposes Zionist genocide paid for by American citizens.
After all, Israel would not survive without unfettered American and German welfare.
When you try to kill a large group of people....like 1500 or so....then that's genocide."CLARIFICATION"
Re:
That's precisely the sentiment of most of the world to apologists who laugh about the systematic extermination of Palestine's native residents.
Labeling something a genocide depends if you want to follow the strict definition of the word "genocide" or render the word meaningless like "anti Semite".
Just because lots of people were killed during an event doesn't make each slaughter a genocide.
For example:
From AI:
"Genocide is defined as the deliberate and systematic destruction of a group of people based on their national, ethnic, racial, or religious identity. It involves acts committed with the intent to destroy the group, in whole or in part, through various means, including killing, physical destruction, or cultural annihilation."
If Palestinians were among the high ranking IDF military officers or among the high ranking Likud members then, the Nakba, too, would not fit the technical definition of a genocide.
Placing a higher value on one ethnic group over all others especially as a rationalization to exterminate them is simply racist.
The selective outrage at any inconvenient fact about the Holocaust from individuals who attempt to promote genocide in former Palestine is as hypocritical as it is grotesquely cultish.
Yes. This has been my claim all along.
You are incorrect.I believe you are thinking that a genocide has to do with the magnitude of a mass killing ...
Oh contraire.
I have met Palestinians.....both in Arabic School and while training them myself.
I understand exactly where they're come from.......but that doesn't mean I have to agree with it.
When you try to kill a large group of people....like 1500 or so....then that's genocide.
Trying to kill hundreds of the same race is ethnic cleansing......something Muslims have been doing for about 1200 years.
Genocide is when you are actively trying to eradicate the planet of a race or tribe.First, I'm sorry I misjudged your experience with Palestinians. It sounds like your Palestinians were more recent and better off than the ones with whom I stayed for almost two months in 1973.
While I met Palestinians throughout Iraq, Syria, Turkey etc, I spent the most time with my old Army sleeping bag and a small backpack living in and around the refugee camps in Southern Lebanon during the '73 War.

Since this was over 50 years ago, I was able to talk to the older Nakba survivors of 1948 who had only what they could carry from their homes and farms of generations.
Among their most prized possessions were old photo albums containing photos of their former homes and murdered family members.
I regard their survivor stories to be as valid as Holocaust survivors only the Palestinians are still being exterminated after 80 years of torment from foreign Zionist terrorist gangs.
Next, I clarified he strict definition of Genocide in my earlier comment.
Genocide has nothing to do with the number of people killed; where do you draw the line?
Thanks,
Far away from Israel and in the middle of nowhere? Absolutely!
Except those people can come back.
You do get that, right?
You are incorrect.
You were incorrect in claiming that I believe a genocide has to do with the magnitude of a mass killing.Please clarify.
Nothing is wrong with it. It is fairly close to the legal definition from the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, which is the one I use.What's wrong with the AI definition of Genocide I've been posting:
"Genocide is defined as the deliberate and systematic destruction of a group of people based on their national, ethnic, racial, or religious identity. It involves acts committed with the intent to destroy the group, in whole or in part, through various means, including killing, physical destruction, or cultural annihilation."
I'm not sure I understand. It sounds like you are saying that since there might be some high-ranking Jews in the government and military who may have been permitted to live for a time, that the intent was not to deliberately and systematically destroy a group based on their ethnic identity. If that is what you intend, I do not think you have met a reasonable standard for excluding the Holocaust as a genocide.Next, do you understand that I am simply going by a strict definition of the word "Genocide" when I wrote that the Holocaust was not technically a genocide because Jews held high ranking positions in both the government and military.
You absolutely do intend to minimize it by claiming it was not a genocide. Or, if you have not intended it, your words have had the effect of minimizing it. And we do see you as a Holocaust denier.I was not attempting to minimize or trivialize the tragic event.
I am only looking linguistic accuracy.
We agree. Which is why I vehemently argue that Israel actions in its war with Hamas in Gaza do not meet the criteria of genocide and that terminology should not be used. The reason it does not meet the criteria is that there is no intent for the destruction of a group based on their national identity.Words have meanings and misusing them only causes confusion.

Palestinian Media Watch reported on an interview in 2022 with Khana in which he was explicit: The Arab media "lied and deceived" people, claiming that the Jews "killed and slaughtered," which made Arabs flee:Palestinian refugee Muhammad Khana: "[In 1948, the Arab] propaganda and media had a central role in us leaving. The media and propaganda, the propaganda [claimed] that there is a horrifying [Jewish] force coming."
[Official PA TV, Source of the Story, May 13, 2025]

Similarly, Palestinian "settlement affairs" expert Khalil Al-Tafakji recently confirmed Arab responsibility for the refugees leaving, saying they left because the Arab leaders told people to leave in 1948, promising them they would return shortly:Palestinian refugee Muhammad Khana Zakariya: "The resistance [in 1948] was organized but every town was alone. We had no leadership, because when the Arab armies came in, they did not agree to recognize a Palestinian state… The most dangerous thing for us was the media. There was no [Arab] TV. There were [Arab] radio and newspapers. Every night towards evening I would read the paper to the elderly in our neighborhood. They enjoyed it and were happy. They heard that in a certain town the Jews did this and that. They killed and slaughtered. Of course, the newspapers lied, and the radio also lied. In other words, they deceived the people. [They said:] The [Arab] armies are coming, the forces are coming, and so on. No way."
[Official PA TV, My Home is There, May 14, 2022]

Palestinian Media Watch has exposed numerous testimonies by Arab refugees, confirming that it was Arab leaders, Arab armies, and the Arab media that caused the Arabs to flee and become refugees:"Settlement affairs" expert Khalil Al-Tafakji: "The Palestinian people is paying attention to this point: That the issue of the 1948 Nakba (i.e., "the catastrophe," the establishment of Israel) will not repeat itself. They will not leave the land and [believe] as the Arab states promised them [in 1948] that they would return after a week. [Instead] they have remained scattered around the world for 70 years until now."
