You do not have to say it "again". I ignored it the first time because there's no logical reasoning or evidence for this. Until you do, it's not something that I can respond to.

everyone is a liberal there

Do you mean everyone in the US is a liberal? No I don't believe that nor did I imply it. I only mentioned the president.

You want it to be complicated given you're citing a claim from the last century that has been withdrawn, and Hamas has undergone a massive shift since. Moreover, no matter how bad Hamas is, it does not excuse genocide. So no, it is not complicated when we identify a genocide.

The tweet does not claim to summarize the entire conflict, but only promote the undeniable fact that it is a genocide.

It being a war doesn't negate the simple conclusion that it is a genocide. If you have reason to deny that, you should provide proper reasoning rather than the hand wavy "it's a war, surely it has to be complex!". There are complex aspects to a war that do not negate the simplicity of classifying it as a genocide. The conclusion is simple due to the mountains of undeniable evidence.

It does. Literally the president of the United States as a prime example.

I agree that I am not a fan of this format, but the original comment implied skepticism about the information because of the format, rather than merely expressing discontent with the format.

Pro-tip: you can use a search engine to confirm information.

On Experts saying it, this is one example: https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/un-expert-says-israel-has-committed-genocide-gaza-calls-arms-embargo-2024-03-26/

On Israel saying it, this has enough for you to start your research: https://apnews.com/article/israel-palestinians-south-africa-genocide-hate-speech-97a9e4a84a3a6bebeddfb80f8a030724

if you stop the "genocide", innocent people will still die (Oct 7).

This implies genocide started after October 7th. Please do basic research on the issue and you'll find that's not true. I'm happy to provide you links if you need.

maintaining democracy

What definition of democracy are we using here? Just so we're on the same page.

I do not think trump was making a meaningful change on that level, in any case. The US never had a true people's rule it that's what you mean, for trump to take it away.

Gaza is not the only issue.
