I'm not saying misogyny doesn't exist; I was just saying that women can win elections, and that Kamala didn't lose because she is a woman.

YESSSSSS, let's blame one group of people for all the country's problems. That never went wrong in history.

Because Harris sucked, thats why.

Hillary got more votes than Trump; she lost because of the electoral college, not because she is a woman.

Or maybe people just didn't like her. They were happy to vote for Obama and Hillary, I don't think Kamala lost because she's black and a woman.

Blaming specific groups of people for a problem is not the answer and can lead down a slippery slope

No, compare it to any large scale modern war with intense bombing. For instance during the bombing of Dresden in ww2 25000 civilians died in one night of bombing. That is why I say the numbers are low. War is hell, and anytime it happens civilians die, which is why it must be stopped at any cost.

I disagree with the UN, civilians dying in a war while awful does not track with the well agreed definition of a genocide.
A genocide has to have the intent of destroying a group of people for their race or religion. If this is Israel's intent they aren't very good at it.

The first one at least, was definitely not staged. The gun the shooter used had a effective MOA of 1.5 at BEST. From the range he shot at(148 yards) the smallest group possible is 2.2 inches and that assumes perfect conditions. Which means that it wouldn't be possible to hit his ear accurately.

I keep up to date with the war in Gaza and have not heard Israeli official say that. Do you mind linking me a source?
If an Israeli official has said that then I change my opinion on this topic.

I'm not trying to be an ass but, I don't understand the latter half of your comment. I think you made a typo, could you please rephrase it?

And saying that a war is bad, but making a logical argument that said war is not a genocide, is not defending said war.
The argument I was making to weedlord, was about the overuse of the term genocide on events that don't match the definition, which dilutes effect of actual genocides

What commonly accepted genocide did I say wasn't one?

and because of this I don't believe that the aim of the war is genocide, therefore it is not a genocidal war.

I think Gaza doesn't fit that definition because, although Israel kills palestinians(and I think this is WRONG) almost all of these killed are either combatants or accidental civilian casualties, which as tragic as it is, is normal in war, civilian casualties are actually LOW for a war of this scale

MB I thought you just wanted wars that people thought were genocides but I think aren't.
Also when I say genocide I use the commonly accepted definition of:
The deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group.

Here's some wars that I've seen called genocides, but I believe weren't
The Anglo-Indian wars
The Anglo-Zulu wars
The reconquista
The 1948 Arab–Israeli War
The conquest of Peru
The Anglo-Powhatan wars
The Current Gaza war
I don't defend ANY of these wars, I just don't think they were genocides

I'm not saying that it doesn't count when Christians do it. I'm saying that these acts are not allowed or justified under Christianity, even if the people doing them say it is, and the fact the some people who do bad things are Christian isn't always relevant to the bad things they do.

Just because certain people use a religion to justify a bad thing, that doesn't mean that religion caused that bad thing.
For example, ISIS used Islam to justify their conquests & genocides. Even though most Islamic scholars denounced their actions and most of the people that fought them were muslim

Nazi ideology is not rooted in Christianity. Most high level Nazis were not Christian (including Hitler(except when he was a child)). However, yes, most of their supporters were Christian; just as almost all the people who fought against them were.
