Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I think she's over-complicating this.
What should happen, is educating the young Jews about the wrongs of what their country is doing to the Palestinians. What Israel is doing now, is similar in vein to what the Nazis did to them many decades ago and using the same template of an excuse to do it, like the US did with Iraq back in 2003. So we have two major wrong-doings of history coming into play and what the young Jews need to do, is overwhelmingly oppose their government and their leaders that are enabling this.
There, straightened it out for you and yet you were a speech-writer?
No. I'm not excusing anything that did happen there, but it absolutely wasn't a genocide.
The death toll was 151,000 ~ 654,965 and the numbers varied wildly so much that the wiki regarding the death toll can't narrow them down. What do you honestly consider 'genocidal'? Because, the USA went into Iraq for no purpose other than to revive the Gulf War and oil under the guise of "We know that you are making Weapons of Mass Destruction somewhere!" that accounted for those deaths, largely of them are civilians mind you that had no business in this.
And yet you think that's not genocide. Well, what's the magical number to you then? Since it is obvious you didn't get it.
