Someone on another platform responded to my “I Stand With Israel” post with, “You stand for genocide”. That is such a gross misunderstanding AND misapplication of the term. By definition,
“Genocides are a deliberate destruction of national, ethnic, racial or religious groups.”
That is NOT what is happening in Gaza.
