Showing Original Post only (View all)No, pro Palestinian leftists, Israel is not committing genocide [View all]
It's been almost a year since the October 7th attacks. According to the Gaza authorities own numbers, out of more than 2 million Gaza citizens, only 40,000 people have been killed (that number includes Hamas members.). Yes, the 41,000 people killed is a tragedy, but Israel is in a war with terrorists that keep on shooting missiles to terrorize and kill Israel's citizens. Who would be passive against that? And that is not genocide, genocide would have a far higher death toll. Here's a history of death toll numbers since Oct 7th as reported by the Gaza Health Ministry:
January 21: 25,000 people
March 11: 31,112 people
May 13: 35,000+ people.
July 21: 38,919 people
September 28: 41,586 people
The death toll has actually been slowing, and still remains a small fraction of the entire population of Gaza. That's not a genocide.
Using the accusations of genocide to support a refusal to vote for Kamala is pure ignorance and pretty much aiding the enemy, who would love nothing more than to imprison all of us on the left, or even worse.
