So, HB, will you state explicitly that there is no genocide of Arabs by Jews?

I had already stated that without any prompting from you. See point 2 here.

PS. There was an official Arab policy of genocide in 1948. If you don’t know that, you are an ignoramus.

You keep devaluing the word genocide! My cat has genocidal designs. He's already killed 2 mice this week. This will go down in history as the Rodent Holocaust.

Can you quote a South American making stronger demands of Jews?

I thought you lived in South America.

Yes I do. But when did I make stronger demands of Jews?

Lying drivel. Hebron 1929. 1947. 1948. etc etc etc.
The fact is that the call to exterminate the Jews has been acted upon many times.

That’s what I meant by “devaluing the word genocide.” You mention massacres, not genocides. In 1929, 1947, 1948 hundreds of thousands of Jews were living in Arab countries and never was an official policy of killing all of them implemented. And I’m sorry; that’s what genocide means!

I thought you lived in South America. But I suppose Cloud Cuckoo-Land is somewhere else. My mistake.

the Arabs never embarked on a genocide of Jews, even when large numbers of Jews were living among them

Lying drivel.

I just love reading the Israeli apologists defending the indefensible. It is incredible how the oppressed became the oppressors in less than 1/2 a century. Blockades, aerial bombardments of densely populated areas are not self defence. It is brutality being meted out on civilians.
I also hate the fact that Hamas fire rockets indiscriminately into southern Israel.
When will the Israelis realise that their brutality will just galvanise world opinion against them? The sympathy is running thin in my country of residence and we have diplomatic relations with Israel. It is said when 2 elephants fight, it is the grass that suffers. The civilians (overwhelmingly in Gaza) are suffering because Israel wants to show off its military might. Hamas should stop firing rockets at israel which are resulting in civilian deaths.
How many more have to die because of Israel’s brutal bombardment of Gaza?

Stop it, Israel, and remember many of your citizens once experienced brutality at the hands of others.
