Yes, I think Israel is attempting a genocide against the Palestinians. The ICC is currently investigating war crimes:

Israel encouraged immigration, yes. And the countries the Mizrahi Jews left did all sorts of things that encouraged their Jews to leave.

OK, we have that clear. I asked three other questions in the paragraph where I asked that question, and I'd love to know what your answers to those are.

As they should, yes. I don't think everything Israel does is either acceptable or even justified, by any means.

No, I don't think the Palestinians are engaging in genocide against the Israelis. Yes, I think Israel should be disbanded. As for what to do with people who don't want to stay? I'd be more than happy to welcome them to the US.

Thank you, that makes your position quite clear. I appreciate your continued engagement with this conversation and the fact that I think we managed to keep it reasonably polite...

Agree.
