It was flagged 20 minutes into being posted, and was respectful until that time. Really, stop lying.

Excuse me? I'm lying about what? Almost all the comments that are from 1 day ago are flagged or downvoted to grey.

If that is how you want to treat this subject then go to 4chan or some other toxic cesspit of the internets. HN is not the place.

I take Gaza and censorship very seriously, am comfortable here and am happy to stand behind every comment I've made.

That has it backwards.

The advent of social media brought press freedom to millions who previously had no voice, including dumbasses.

While the dumbasses incessantly complain about internet censorship, the internet nevertheless lets them spread their dumb views far wider than was possible ever before.

This freedom for dumbasses to promote supposed 'uncomfortable truths' was a big reason behind the resurgence of authoritarianism.

Not commenting on any specific issue, but this link between avoidance of discussion and the slide toward authoritarianism is why the lifting of the Twitter censorship was so critical.

> One could say that it actually liberates the part of the population that doesn't support terrorism.

But the genocide here includes the gazans that do not support terrorism. In fact the terrorists are basically the only group in gaza that are immune to the genocide because they control the government and are able to monopolize food distribution. We have seen over and over and over again that counter terrorism only has two ways to succeed. Either the population has to willingly install a government that can counter the terrorists or the counter terrorism group has to kill every single person in the region. Everyone can see which option israel is going for here

Israel is committing a genocide to the Palestinian population.

There is a wiki page about it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaza_genocide

Scholars' association agrees (those are experts in genocide) https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/world/israel-is-committing-ge...

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cde3eyzdr63o

And of course, for the one of us who have been paying attention, it's been clear that Israel has been committing a genocide for quite some time. Hence the UN case and the warrant for arrest of the war criminal and genocider Netanyahu roughly 1 year ago.

Words words words. Not gonna help Netanyahu in prison nor the IDF war criminals when they are tried in the Hague for genocide and crimes against mankind.

Terrorism like Israel killing tens of thousands of Palestinian civilians or the US killing hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians? Or do you just mean the violence committed by brown people against their oppressors?

Embarrassing edit. You need to seek help.

Here you go, Israel groups saying Israel is committing genocide in a leading Israel paper:

> In first, two major Israeli human rights groups accuse Israel of ‘genocide’ in Gaza

Yes that's your reallity which is obviously different from mine.

One can list 70 years of "one time lone IDF soldier" war crimes. But I wouldn't waste time because you believe what you want to believe. Nothing can't change youe bias. You do not consider Pelastinians as humans.

Quite inspired by Goebbels, are we?

  The Jews are responsible for the war. The treatment they receive from us is hardly unjust. They have deserved it all.

Well, if the Al-Qaida outlet says so, HNers will swallow it.

Was there a threshold as to why it wasn't one last month, for example.

The resolution is an outcome of a process descibed in this organization's bylaws. Quoting:

ARTICLE 6. Resolutions A. Resolutions committing the Association to a stand on a public issue require a two-thirds majority of those voting at the biennial business meeting or by e-mail ballot. For a proposed resolution to pass, voting must have been undertaken by a quorum of more than 20% (20% plus 1) of paid up IAGS members at the time of the vote.

B. Resolutions directly related to genocide or other mass atrocities, including early warning signs thereof, may be proposed by any member in good standing.

C. Proposed resolutions shall first be submitted to the Resolutions Committee appointed by the President and the Executive Board for review of their linguistic clarity and historical and factual accuracy. The standard of review shall be that of an article for the IAGS journal. The Resolutions Committee will recommend to the Executive Board and Advisory Boardwhether the Resolution should be forwarded to the IAGS membership for a vote.

D. After consulting with the Advisory Board, the Executive Board shall decide whether or not the proposed resolution will be submitted to the IAGS membership for a vote within two weeks of submission by the Resolutions Committee. Resolutions must be circulated by the Executive Board to the IAGS membership at least thirty days before the close of voting by IAGS members. E-mail voting shall begin as soon as the resolution is submitted to the membership by the Executive Board and close at the end of thirty days of voting. Votes will be submitted and counted by the Secretary/Treasurer of the IAGS, and after verification by the Executive Board, results of the voting will be announced to the members of the IAGS.

Why wouldn't they? Nobody is stopping them, and it benefits them to remove a traditional enemy population. The sorts of people who seek to lead nations tend to only have performative ethics: if it benefits them to appear ethical, they'll behave ethically.
