What? He’s not talking about Gaza, he’s talking about Iran.

Israel’s actions toward both countries are bad, but Iran is not a genocide. At least not yet.

Who is "Israel"? I only know of a country called Netanyahu.

Yeah it takes some time to build up that kind of propaganda. You can't just accuse Israel of genocide in the first week, otherwise people will catch on that you're pushing an anti-Israel agenda and just making shit up. Maybe next week it'll be time to start saying this is a genocide regardless of what's actually happening.

Not every war is genocidal though. Kinda remains to be seen if this one is.

Definitely war crimes though, hitting residential areas, public broadcast networks. Israel is a "western" Russia.
