Why is the war in Gaza labeled a genocide and not Ukraine?

Both the Russians and Ukranians are Slavs, The Russians aren't trying to kill slavs because they are slavs, they aren't even trying to remove Ukrainian culture, they claim it as their own. The Russians simply want to destroy a state - a polity - it's a political action, there is no 'genotype' at its core. It's more like the pre enlightenment English civil wars in that respect. 

Of course if you move it back a few levels, Jews and Palestinians are both Semites. 🤷‍♂️

If only the choice was as easy as support for Israel or dental care.  
make no mistake. There was rampant anti Semitism after Oct 7. Just as Trump made it ok for the racists here to come out of rne closet, Oct 7 made it ok for anti Semitism to make a return and much of that on the left.   I’ve yet to see an Arab or Muslim unconditionally condemn Hamas over Oct 7 without some form of whataboutism or “but….”   That’s horrific.

At least one person here posted dozens of antisemitic videos in the gaza theead.   Happens to be posting antisemitic posts even earlier today too.
