    One is a state entity committing genocide and the other is a small group with zero legislative backing committing a traffic obstruction. You are really preoccupied with your idiotic classification tho.

        [Sees a child taking his ball home after being teased on the playground] “wow this isn’t quite genocide but it is the exact same thing Israel is doing (if you ignore the scale, the actors, the severity, the racial motivations, and so forth). Some children are being punished despite not actively teasing him. This is a useful categorization for concepts. Blocking traffic is the real genocide.”
