"The "decent world," liberal democracies, have warm and friendly relations with Israel"
And all but Canada are now condemning Israel for their ethnic cleansing and their mass murder of civilians - including those you list as "decent".
Israel ranks with States like Saudi Arabia, Qtar and Syria in their past and present relationship with so-called "decent" countries (has the same ring as "real historians, don'cha think?"
"I don't see anybody in this thread denying that genocide does take place and that it is an atrocity"
You don't?
Do you have Specsavers in the U.S.?
Several "usual suspects" have spent a great deal of time denying, ignoring and justifying the atrocities committed by Israel since the establishment of the State - two of the leading staunch defenders of Israel claim allegence to your own religion and in doing so, they bring shame on it, as you do in joining them.
I predict with a degree of confidence that the ethnic cleansing described above, taking place in Israel as we argue, will continue to be ignored (not even defended) by those who get off on that sort of thing.
Now that's what I call "nastiness".
"The Israelis are descendants of homeless refugees, and much of the land for Jewish settlements"
And they in their turn have created a refugee crisis of fr greater proportions - persecuted turned persecutor.
"Palestinians are the largest and longest suffering group of refugees in the world. One in three refugees world wide is Palestinian. There are about 6.5 million Palestinian refugees worldwide. More than 3.8 million Palestinian refugees and their descendents displaced in 1948 are registered for humanitarian assistance with the United Nations. Another 1.5 million Palestinian refugees and their descendents, also displaced in 1948, are not registered with the UN. About 263,000 Palestinians and their descendents are internally displaced i.e. inside present-day "Israel"."
