    The Democrats are arming and funding a genocide. Even George W Bush and Trump never did that.

    Only one president in my lifetime ever armed and funded a genocide. That president is a Democrat and his name is Joe Biden

        What are the elements of the crime of genocide, and how were they all present in Iraq?

        Gaza is worse than that abomination because of Israels clear intent to exterminate a people. Which is what makes it genocide. This isn’t a war with an unacceptably large amount of deaths - its a targeted extermination campaign that is also engaging in ethnic cleansing and collective punishment

          If you can’t see the vilification and indiscriminate killing of Arabs as genocidal, and you’d rather argue semantics, then technically speaking Netanyahu’s horrific actions in Gaza are not genocide until determined by the ICC. Saying “Bush wouldn’t even do this” is absurd.
