Would you have been happier if they said "a protest against Israel's 'genocide'"?

They weren't quoting him directly in that first sentence, and regardless of how any of us feel about it personally, the ICC said this isn't genocide. Personally, I also feel it's a genocide, but if I said that in an article I wrote, it would be an opinion piece because, when it comes to committing crimes, the western world has generally agreed on the principle of innocent until proven guilty and we prove that guilt in courts of law.

I noticed you didn't link to the actual article. I'm assuming at this point, based on your posting history and this interaction, that it was a deliberate choice on your part to use a screenshot instead because 4 sentences later, the same article states, "Leadinf up to the incident, Bushnell said in the video that he 'will no longer be complicit in genocide.' Later, as he burned in front of the Israeli Embassy, Bushnell could be seen on the livestream yelling "Free Palestine!"'

Makes it seem like you're not arguing in good faith, which makes me want to disengage with you at this point.

Yes.

NPR said that according to Aaron's social media post this is a "war" not a "Genocide" which is a lie.
