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.

Nancy Mace is a horrible person, but trying to poke the nest of the pedo coverup was a bridge too far for the pedo in chief. 

It’s the same reason MTG was excommunicated.

Ukraine has gone through the theft of its children to deny them their Ukrainian culture and heritage and raise them as Russians.  That's genocide.  Also, the Holodomor was a genocide even though it was based in part, on class, not ethnicity.

I didn't even realize that Platner was drawing 100% disability from the VA.  So now on top of everything else, the piece of trash is scamming the government.  Can't have it both ways, either this guy is gaming the system or he actually has some serious mental health issues. 

Is he scamming the government? Like, actual fraud? Is this documented? Or might he actually qualify? Just asking because even if he appears healthy on the surface, if he technically qualifies for disability, he’s entitled to take it. If thats the case, then fault the VA.

Then he’s lying about being a working class stiff who supports himself from his oyster farm. He’s getting nearly $5k. There’s certainly more there that will be exposed.

Then that should cost him the election.
