Israel/Palestine

I believe that you have the best of intentions, but your second paragraph is chock full of loaded language. Recognizing that there are always exceptions to outright declarations, I'll nonetheless use a very broad brush and state that no one is denying that there are a lot of dead people in Gaza and that a lot of them are children. With the same brush, I'll aver that no one is "happy about that". Generally, the people who use that language in defense of something are people who are accusing other people of harboring those heinous perspectives. In my experience, they are also those who freely claim that Israel is committing genocide.

That's why I brought up this clip. Israel is not committing genocide. Those who make that claim are doing so in bad faith or out of ignorance and unless that's stopped (especially among the stenographic media members, like the interviewer in this example) the fervor will intensify, endangering more people, and greater atrocities will be claimed, with the desire for greater retribution.

I don't think there's another word that's necessary. I'm just hoping that as the manufactured vitriol subsides, this assertion is the first to go away - as it's the most incendiary claim underlying all of the other horrid rhetoric.
