    Yanis Varoufakis is a performance actor who desperately tries to stay relevant by clumsily inserting himself into whatever is going on in the world. That’s all there is to him. He’s chasing the public spotlight like a dodgy personal injury lawyer is chasing ambulances.

    I’m also starting to get really tired of this baseless genocide slander that is being repeated as if it was a religious mantra. The whole idea behind accusing Israel of it is twofold: It’s meant to hurt Jews (who were victims of an actual genocide) and it’s meant to distract from the genocidal ambitions of Israel’s enemies.

      I’m sorry did you just try to apply the roman expanding defense to what does and doesn’t define a genocide?

      I’m sure all those Gauls Caesar tried this logic on will come to agree with you any second now!

        Yeah that comment is full of shit. 30000+ dead Gazans, aid convoys being destroyed, Gaza in a state of famine, but let’s talk about the genocide that we think Israel’s enemies might want to carry out, as opposed to what Israel has already started doing.
