No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

The irony of you saying this is hilarious.
You aren't saying facts, you're saying opinions - most of which are "i think x, y, z" and "i don't believe x when they say y".
You missed the point. If Israel want to commit genocide against Palestinians, and don't care about the world accusing them of genocide, they would just do it. Why would they draw it out for months/years? If they're going to have everyone sanctioning them and shouting "Genocide!" at them, they'd just get it over and done with and move on. Drawing it out over months/years would just make it worse for them. It makes no sense.
You want it to be a genocide. You're looking for articles that support your view. You're looking for "facts" that support your view. You're not looking at it with an impartial eye and what is actually happening, you're looking at it with a "they're committing genocide so everything they do is with an end goal of genocide" lens.
This has been the least worthwhile discussion I've had in a long time, and I discuss with people I disagree with fairly often (including those who support Israel). Most of them manage to change my view somewhat, or at least provide a new perspective. You didn't, sadly.
(However I very much appreciate you wanting to discuss, even though the discussion quality could be improved significantly)
