The Muslim countries who send delegations claim there isn't a genocide. The people who historically have used Muslim extremism to destabilize countries and then bomb the shit out of their local population leading to hundreds of thousands or millions of casualties still claim that China's anti-extremism program was genocide.

Judaism has always been a people of a singular national identity

No. National identity is a relatively modern idea for any group of people. Being Jewish is being part of a culture, not a nation.

The person you're responding to is an ass but you're swinging too far in the opposite direction.

Far from being ethnostate, the Arab citizens enjoy equal rights and protections from the state.

Are you blatantly lying or are you just incredibly misinformed?

I think as a rule of thumb it is, but everyone's body is different.

This is absolutely a testosterone thing according to my transmasc friends.

At the time some of the original works that are quoted were written, the term genocide had not come into common use. That makes the point that some of the writers did not use the term rather meaningless.

What are you even talking about?

Had you read the articles and researched the background data cited you might have learned something.

I've literally read books on the subject written by people who hold a very negative opinion of the USSR. You have a smorgasbord of hastily assembled articles that you very evidently didn't read, or at least read critically, before citing.

You’re looking for someone to reaffirm your misconceptions. I am not that guy, and that does not upset me although it seems to upset you.

You are projecting.

Since you’re not interested in anything from me I will abandon this thread at this point,

I literally am interested in something from you, which is that you read and understand the cited article from a well respected Jewish holocaust historian and activist on why what youre doing is holocaust trivialization.

but I suggest you continue and widen your readings I challenge your preconceptions to get closer to the truth. I wish you the best of luck.

I literally engage with the mainstream anti-ussr western academic consensus on the subject, you want me to credulously engage with revived nazi propaganda that was used as justification for exterminating Jews by Ukrainian collaborators.

Trump was literally an average/slightly below average president, he just said the quite part that you're not supposed to say out loud all the time. He doesn't have anything on Andrew Jackson, Reagan or Teddy Roosevelt.

It is easy to get a medical exemption or go to jail for a few months instead of being complicit in a genocidal campaign. Not all Israeli adults serve.

Turns into a state where the leaders of that state make more money owning the machines then the workers on those machines.

Except not really. Corruption is a problem but corruption happens in bourgeois democracy too, the overwhelmingly main source of wealth extraction that we can eliminate is surplus labor value extraction brought about by property relations. State socialism cuts away a massive problem while still retaining smaller ones.

Having three degrees does not make you more knowledgeable on subjects you dont have knowledge in.

You obviously do not have the tools to identify the foremost experts. You have been terrible at identifying credible resources, youre last round has been: book review of a book by an author who has made comments that it isnt a genocide, an encyclopedia, a news article about a vote by a European parliament, and a list of English translated letters that don't show evidence it was a genocide. None are anywhere close to as credible as the well respected mainstream historians who studied this, thought it was a genocide, and then said "no, actually it wasn't" after the undemocratic dissolution of the USSR when more internal documents became available for them.

As for the vote you reference, that event was actually mentioned by this well respected western Jewish historian and activist in his article on holocaust trivialization:

You should read it so you understand the political implications of the claim you are making and how it connects to denying the holocaust.
