I’m not an expert on these things so are we calling it the Israeli-American genocide of the Palestinian people or the American-Israeli genocide of the Palestinian people?

Also, is that fair to Germany?

Is Israeli-American-German genocide of the Palestinian people more precise?

Would that make other EU countries with their own valid contributions to the genocide feel left out?

Thoughts?

@aral Spain is playing its classical role: if your ask the government we are completely against the genocide, though we keep weapon business (and most of the others) as usual with Israel. Like with Ukraine: we ship minor quantities of ammunition to Kiev while we are top buyers of Russian oil. https://ca.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/fer_la_puta_i_la_Ramoneta

@aral it should be whatever countries in whatever order such that you get a decent acronym. Do you know if, uh, Egypt, the Vatican and Lithuania are major contributors? (OK, probably something else--you'll want an 'A' for one thing.)

@aral global north - israeli genocide of the Palestinian people, although it's not 100% accurate

@aral
Maybe you could call it 'a coalition of the willing'

@aral Think more in the style of production credits at the beginning of a film: produced by Israel, in partnership with America, and in association with Germany, with the grateful participation of France and the UK, etc.

(Sorry to be so utterly crass)

@aral The danish multi-national logistic partner of us and uk military, Mærsk / Maersk would feel left out. The flow of weapons, ammunition and parts from the producers are delivered by someone. Without proper logistics, no us empire and western imperialism.
Also the danish company Terma, producing 80 mission critical parts for the f-35 fleet. Everyday they make sure the fleet is functioning and the death from the skies can be delivered on the people in gaza. #MaskOffMaersk #Terma

@aral this may be spicy but I believe it does rise to the level of antisemitism how often it's portrayed as genocide by Israel alone. "Coalition genocide against Palestine" I think is fair without having to laboriously name the coalition, though that's a worthy use of space when you have it.
