But the constant accusations of genocide are unhelpful. My grandfather was from Poland, 90% of Jews in Poland were killed. That is what genocide looks like. Call it a Nakba 2.0, barbaric, brutal, abomination. Get a thesaurus and find whatever works for you, but genocide is just inflammatory and not helpful. And stop accusing Jews of being Nazis, that is just offensive.
