The Holocaust is not an indefinite hall pass excusing Israel’s many many modern misdeeds, Mona. Even mentioning the Holocaust at all in the context of current events just betrays a lack of willingness to confront the reality of what Israel is doing and defend it with affirmative arguments. The Israelis are now bulldozing communities in southern Lebanon the same way they did Gaza. Their aggression is systematic and disproportionate, so much so that now even Trump is like “hey lets maybe stop with blowing up apartment buildings full of civilians”. When even Trump gets it, it’s sad that you do not.

The last guy I'm going to cry for is Netanyahu.

I'm curious how he feels about settlers taking over land. Is that a scooch too far? "Harsh tactics" were actually targeting civilians and sh*oting journalists, children in the head and heart. For what? Target practice? Its sickening. From videos I've seen, there appears to be a sickness among some of the population to consider innocent Palestinians to be sub human. I get the equally vicious tactics of Hamas to use lives for propaganda. I really hope that is not most people, but that is the most horrifying to me when I see them leap for joy when they hear apartments being blown up and families torn apart.

Right, Mona, killing 50,000 women and children is not a "walk in the park." I'm no supporter of Hamas, but Bibi definitely collaborated with Hamas to ensure decades of hatred and violence. Absent from your discussion is the Bibi coalition's insane desire for a Greater Israel and ethnic cleansing of the Occupied Territories -- something that will further hatred.

According to your guest it was only coincidence that Bibi from the beginning, called for a biblical mass extermination. And your guest also ignores the fact that it is a war crime to destroy entire city blocks of residential urban areas dropping 2000 pound bombs just to kill one or two Hamas fighters Let alone the systematic demolition of residential homes in the Gaza strip which all of these activities are war crimes!

Genocide doesn't require maximum possible killing. The legal definition is intent to destroy a group "in whole or in part." The Rwanda genocide killed 800,000 in 100 days. The Srebrenica massacre, legally ruled genocide, killed around 8,000. Scale alone doesn't determine the classification.

The scale of American complicity with Israeli crimes, cannot be understated.

Never trust a man who says I need a couple million dead before I want to hear critics cry about genocide while always having one eye brow raised as he says it. Mona this is a shameful attempt at cleanse the Jews of their behavior for the American people. Hopefully everyone sees this for what it was. An APAC ad.
