Bill Maher summed up the difference between the Israelis and the Palestinians in one sentence and in doing so showed all the empty-headed protestors on our university campuses what real genocide is.
The allegation against Israel is that they're committing genocide in Gaza. Maher responded that the difference between the Palestinians and the Israelis is this: The Palestinians would kill every Israeli but they can't. The Israelis could kill every Palestinian, but they don't.
The Palestinians have sworn to wipe out the Israelis, they even have it in their constitution. They earnestly desire to commit genocide against the Jews. The Israelis, on the other hand, have tried throughout their 70 year history to be at peace with the Palestinians even though they could eliminate them in a matter of weeks or less.
Even in the current war the Israelis are doing something historically unprecedented. They're trying to get humanitarian relief to the Palestinian people, the very people who voted Hamas into power and who overwhelmingly supported the slaughter of Jews on October 7th.
We didn't fly relief shipments to the Japanese or Germans while we bombed their cities in WWII, and it's quite impossible to imagine any Muslim or Arab state helping Israeli civilians if the Arabs were bombing Israel. Indeed, it's much easier to imagine the Arabs killing every Israeli civilian they could, just as they did on October 7th.
It's not the Israelis who are genocidal.
