Errr yeah but it doesn't count as genocide, it only went over a small fraction of the people. It's not genocide until it's all of them! I am very smart.

According to the trolley operator, one in three people tied to the tracks is Hamas.

Why would you sympathize with Hamas? They've been trying to blow that trolley up for years. If we don't run them over now, they'll just try to do it again.

According to the trolley operator, some people in the front of the trolley might not be Hamas, but every single one behind is.

My thought exactly. Instead of talking if it's right or wrong and if it should stop, be should focus on more important questions like is it genocide and is it antisemitic.

if we're "uhm akshuallying" here, technically genocide is a past tense term judging by its common contextual use, and any other use case of it is grammatically incorrect.

Mass murder/mass homicide would be more accurate, or perhaps a different term altogether. Genocidal is a different form of it so it doesnt count under this, though it could technically apply here as well.

I'm ok with being grammatically incorrect

i mean yeah, it's the internet, we've literally done it before, so i guess we can do it again, technically.
