You do know that this same argument is used by holocaust deniers, right?

[–] Rendh@feddit.de -3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Then holocaust deniers can't read stats. As it took the Jewish population in Germany until 2018 to grow back to 1/5 of what it was in 1933.

Is the Israeli government being dickheads about Gaza? Definitely. But calling it a genocide seems melodramatic seeing as there's now 5 times the amount of people there was 60 years ago.

And honestly, if what being done in Gaza qualifies as genocide, where's the hate for Egypt? They keep the border closed too. But for some reason only Israel gets blamed. Why isn't Egypt stepping up supplying aid?

And get targeted by USrael?

Because they seemed to care about that during any of the wars they fought against Israel.

The real reason (according to everything I found) Egypt keeps the border closed is because they don't seem to want to deal with Hamas and not because Israel is telling them to.
