I'm going to be blunt: anyone claiming that Israel's defensive war in Gaza constitutes "genocide" is spouting nonsense.

Too bad there seems to be an endless supply.

Not just allowed but protected.

I believe I have them blocked already, for the same reason. More Biden-bashing left-wing Trumpers.

“We should all be calling for an immediate return of the hostages, for Palestinians and Israelis on both sides of the border to be protected, and a swift end to the conflict.”

A man was stabbed after attending a pro-#Palestine Rally in #Austin. The city’s elected leaders have condemned the attack but many are still hesitant to address the international conflict.

Just going to point out that you compounded the personal attack with an attack on my motivations, but you were never able to address my arguments.

That's because you're a Hamas supporter so you have no moral leg to stand on.

Once again, personal attacks without substance. Pathetic.

Why do you support genocide?

As I pointed out, you're agreeing with Hamas about their desire to commit genocide against Israelis.

You are in no position to claim the "anticolonialism" moral high ground when you espouse genocide.

False. Israel has proposed various attempts at a two-state solution for decades, starting from its creation. Palestinians have always rejected it, holding out for taking over the entire region through genocide.

I have no tolerance for those who try to redefine "antisemitism" to include non-Jews. Blocked.

You seem confused: Israel is a democracy. One of the very few anywhere near that region of the world.

Palestinians who are Israeli citizens can vote in Israeli elections. Many of these Arab Israelis are ethnically Palestinian.

The Palestinians in Gaza, EJ, and the WB are generally not Israel citizens. They can vote in Palestinian elections, when those exist (meaning not in Gaza).

These are two separate countries and that's the goal.

You blocked me so I couldn't point out that your response was nonsensical. I never claimed that a two-state solution was dead. Instead, I said that I supported it but we need to get rid of Likud and Hamas to get it.

Obviously, reading comprehension and antisemitism don't go together...

Anyone know why Camponotus CA-02 (common name: Giant Californian Carpenter #ants still has a place-holder name? they’re hugely popular with antkeepers out west … odd they remain “undescribed” I’d think myrmecologists would be pushing & shoving to write a description & give these well-loved ants their binomial.

I hope it’s a good name— something w/ indigenous history or something cool. Since they are like mini #Dinomyrmex gigas maybe #Camponotus giglet? Camponotus minimyrmex?

Are we allowed to call them gi-ants?
