    It’s all said and done now, but less vs more genocide is a false concept to begin with. Genocide is a binary concept. There’s either a genocide or not a genocide.

      I agree. My point was more for the liberals that believe there is literally a lever between “X killed” and “X + 1 killed” and that they are therefore doing harm reduction by picking “X killed” as a binary option. The lie doesn’t really start at saying the choice is binary, ie third party voting and revolutionary organization exist too. The lie starts at the premise of those choices even being on the table, as both parties do their damndest to provide “Israel” with as much as it needs to continue the genocide.

      At a moral and technical level, the scale of genocide doesn’t change if it’s genocide or not, correct, but even using the logic of liberalism it falls under its own contradictions.
