So, Greggie,

YOU are claiming that the word of a few people represents ALL Israelis, yet the Charter of Hamas is just a few words we can ignore?

The groups in Lyon's article may well have stated the things that are claimed- in SOME countries, there is a thing called free speech. ( Not in Gaza, however).

So what?


The Hamas CHARTER calls for genocide- AND YOU SUPPORT THAT.

Hamas is the supposedly elected government of Gaza. Not a fringe political group.


"Apparently the world is content to ignore the fact that the Hamas Covenant is, in and of itself, a war crime. (A war crime, not yet a genocide.) Apparently the various moral equivalence explainers are unaware that advocating genocide is a punishable war crime, different only in degree from genocide itself. Indeed the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda convicted the perpetrators of a Rwandan radio station of crimes against humanity just for its broadcasts inciting the murder of the Tutsis as that genocide (yes, genocide) got underway. Though neither party is a signatory to the Rome Statute on Genocide, I wouldn't be opposed to that idiot Jewish advocate of genocide being hauled before the International Criminal Court. As long as the entire leadership of Hamas was there in the dock, too, for advocating genocide in their covenant.

Because of course the entire governing entity of Hamas is prima facie guilty of advocating genocide. But the ignoramuses comparing Israelis to Nazis and Gaza to genocide while ignoring actual ongoing genocide in Syria and Iraq must be seen as an excrescence of the enduring double standard to which Israelis—and Jews—are subjected."
