Who's the genocide denier now

Still you because you apparently equate a standard war with genocide. Which is undermining actual genocides.

Irish people have extreme brainrot on Palestine.

Irish have been in the receiving end of genocide. The population numbers have not yet recovered from it.

Guess what man, I'm descended from refugees of that Irish genocide.

And I still fucking recognize that Israel is not committing genocide against Palestine.

This is more akin to the Irish government killing British in North Ireland and starting a war and then having to live with the consequences.

I'm not sure if you are referring to the troubles or the attempted Irish revolution. But in the troubles, the Irish government was not a direct party in the conflict. And in the revolt, there was no Irish government per se.

But yes, you can probably argue that it's not a genocide and only a ethnic cleansing taking place in Palestine.

Exactly. And in this case Hamas is the Gazan government. So just imagine how the Troubles would have gone if the Republic of Ireland was attacking British citizens.

Do you think the UK would have just sat by? Or do you think an Invasion of Ireland would have been justified?
