I really wish I could have a permanent record of everything every liberal has ever said so I could easily demonstrate how full of shit they are in 10 to 20 years when they all collectively deny ever having supported Israel through the Palestinian genocide.

I'd say, "It's the Internet", but these days institutional powers seem to be able to convince even Internet archives to remove shit that's too inconvenient for them.

It is not Israel that wants to annihilate Gaza and the Palestinian people, it is Hamas (and their backer the Iranian government) that wants to annihilate Israel and the Jewish people.

I agree. But neither is it an official Israeli position, nor can I see how it would be justified to suppose statements like this would be endorsed by anything even close to a majority of the Israeli people. Talk of a planned genocide of the Palestinian people is pure propaganda.

what do you call walling in 2 million people and cutting off food water and fuel then bombing the shit out of the walled enclosure? Israel is doing genocide right now it doesn't matter if its official or not

Isreal is currently perpetrating a genocide against the Palestinian people. Kind of hard to argue they don't want to when it's exactly what they're doing.
