Again, it's not a genocide. The IDF is methodical and surgical with their bombing and urban warfare. You can blame the civilian casualty on Hamas for their use of human shields.
Christian interpretation? You mean the Rapture? This has nothing to do with Zionism, which again I will remind you is the idea that the Jewish people have the right to live in their homeland of Israel.
So why did you bring it up in the first place? What the Muslim Palestinian Arabs faced by the Crusaders was not an example of an act of anti-semitism aka Jew hatred.
No, the IDF are certainly not "surgical" and have essentially admitted they are not surgical. I will not blame Hamas for the actions of a far more powerful force. There are plenty of other things to blame Hamas for.
No, I mean the entire origin of the concept of Zionism. That "promised land" mythos was dreamt up BY Christians and was not a pursuit of Jews at the time of its conceptualization. Christians who very distinctly did not want Jews living among them. It's essentially "go the f*ck back where you came from because God said so." I dont believe ANY religion has a specific right to have an entire Country, and I cant think of a more nonsensical contention that almost ALWAYS results in eradication of entire peoples.
I brought it up to demonstrate that the Jews dont have a monopoly on acts of hatred and murder towards SEMITIC people. Which you have not argued against. That on some level hate against semitic people is hate against semitic people, and it makes less sense when the term is used in favor of one group of semitic people over the other
