The idea of contrasting what I said with being "anti-genocide" implies that people who disagree with you are "pro-genocide".

Once one believes that those who disagree with them are "pro-genocide", then they can easily dismiss anything the other has to say say or any view they have, since they're functionally dehumanized.

I would ask that, if you can, try to consider that there are nuances, and that using triggering language does not bring understanding, it only amplifies conflict.

That said, this conversation has been too difficult for me, and I'm not going to engage with you on it further.

I would really like you to read this back to yourself and think about it deeply, really deeply.

No I mean literally we are part of an organization focused on preventing and ending genocide broadly. Israel-palestine is one of them but there are several others ongoing and several more that may escalate into genocide in the next few months or years. I do see why you have a hard time with wikipedia.
