" If you don't permit people to build new houses, then blowing up existing
ones is genocidal. People need houses and the policy of incremental
destruction of essential infrastructure of one ethnic group, accompanied by
rapid building of settlements and infrastructure exclusively for another
ethnic group, is genocide. No getting away from it."

Well, if you say so. Feels nice saying that word -- g-e-n-o-c-i-d-e. Has a
nice ring. I remember, during marches, when the inevitable chant would
arise: "So-and-so, you can't hide! We charge you with GENOCIDE!" Ah, the
rush that swept the crowd. The tingle. People actually smiled when saying
it, imagining themselves as brave anti-fascist resisters screaming at a
brick building across the street while passersby looked on with blank faces.
The allure is understandable.
