I don't know about you, but every time I see someone call the Gazan situation the "Gazan Holocaust" or "Genocide in Gaza" I wonder if they have ever tried picking up a dictionary, or googling the term at least.

To clarify, my understanding of genocide does not involve a terorist organisation who fire thousands of missiles into a much more powerful country, and then, after about 8 years of this oppression, the stronger country finally attacks back killing mainly the terrorist militants. (and the civilians that they killed were only killed because Hamas values their own petty PR victory before their own civilians)

Maybe that's just me.
Your thoughts?
darkAL you are totally my yahooanswers hero. look at my starred items... all you haha
ha my bad sorry
 
Yeah I agree. I hope Israel just gets sick of everything and beats the *!@# out of the middle east. They are pretty much the America of the Middle East
 
Couldn't agree more.

To add more to the ridiculous scheme of things, "1,130 killed, out of which, 600+ are militants who were hiding civilians and fighting in urban areas" is apparently a genocide. Well, with that in mind, I begin to wonder if there was ever any kind of war which wasn't a genocide. Perhaps we should omit the word "war" from the dictionary then.

For crying out loud. 1,130 killed, with the majority being miltants is hardly a battle. Let alone war or genocide. Israel could easily wipe Gaza off the map in a day if it wanted to. However, instead, Israel called civilians on their cellphones to warn them before impending attacks, declared daily ceasefires to provide humanitarian aid and even set up a field hospital to treat enemy civilians. If this is the description of "genocide", I just wish every war was a genocide like this.

Edit: lol Thanks for the comment and the starring. The more people I see using logic, facts and get some historical knowledge instead of buying into vastly spread propaganda - All the better!
Btw, just a small correction - darkA.I., not AL ;)

Edit 2: No problem. I've already become so accustomed to it I'm considering to change my name to AL :p
 
To liberals the American and Israeli military's are always guilty of genocide when they defend their citizens. Liberals portray terrorists as victims. The media perpetuates this spin.Tune in to Fox news. It has the highest ratings in cable news!
