Jews were massacred on Oct 7th not because of antisemitism but because of the hopelessness and desperation of the Palestinian people who have suffered injustice unabated since 1948. The evidence for that is not even contested by serious people, the list of UN resolutions (unenforced because of the US veto) alone reveals the scale of the cruelty and racism. In short Palestinians have tried EVERYTHING and it has not helped them, no matter what they did no matter what resolutions were supported at the UN nothing was done and the land theft, racism, child arrests, home demolitions, checkpoints, segregation continued year after year after year after year.

Yes it was a violent uprising, no doubt about it, and it was a crime no argument about that.

It doesn't fit the definition of genocide, by all means show me a "law scholar" who claims it is but I beg to differ based on my own decades of study and reading about history and international affairs.

Zionism in Israel fits the textbook definition of neo-Nazism, I've shown you before the records too where Zionist activities years before 1948, persecution of religious Jews, creation of ideological schools, aspiration to seize territory, a racial supremacy and more, mirrors the Third Reich.
I've shown you reputable Jews who have said this too, like Norman Finkelstein, the late Physicist and Holocaust survivor Hajo Meyer, the late Lord Gerald Kaufman and I can show you more, many many more if you'd like. How can you explain all of these Jews who describe Israel as Nazi or resembling the Nazis? you can't your stuck, your holocaust card cannot be used here.

You are contradicting yourself, I claimed that the IDF killed Jews during Oct 7th, you then respond by describing my words as "victim blaming" yet at the same time admitting it
did happen. I made no mention of
how many Jews died as the result of the IDF did I? I didn't say it was all, a majority a minority or any number, only that it did happen and I showed you the evidence from Jews who were there and have described it.
