Reminds me of my friends in Gaza, where every day means no shops, no restaurants, no home, no medicine, no food, no water, no hope. The beaches are full of people just trying to exist.

The person you are talking to did not personally commit genocide in Gaza. Just as I, an American citizen, did not declare war on Iran.

In fact, I think the war in Iran is a stupid and immoral thing to do. It's possible that the person you are responding to feels the same about the Israeli government's genocidal actions in Gaza.

However, you did not bother to find out. When you judge someone before knowing them, it is called "prejudice". Pre-judging.

Victimhood stopped being a valid excuse on the 7th.

I hope your friend over there is doing well, and hopes for peace as much as we all do over here. Maybe then we'll see an end to all this.

The UN classified it a genocide. Is the latest to call that a marketing ploy or Russian disinformation and say it's not OK or hip or fashionable to question our allies? Evil productized?
