I think it is a mistake of moderation to treat this as any divisive topic. The division line here is support for genocide. Users which are in favor of genocide—no matter how they justify it—are clearly in the wrong, both morally, and probably legally, and should not be given any ways to influence the discussion here.


I think that argument is making an is/ought error. I'm simply describing how it is. Whether it ought to be that way or not, I leave to you and other commenters.


I think one could very easily argue there is no genocide in Gaza, so this doesnt work.

If you're looking for a popular vote on whether what's taking place in Gaza is a genocide, you would get very different votes in different places. For instance, in the USA, less than 40% agree with that take.

Here is a pretty reasoned take making the case for why its not a genocide: https://macdonaldlaurier.ca/im-a-war-scholar-there-is-no-gen...

I think its extreme to call anyone who disagrees racist.
