Can all German genocide deniers please get the fuck out of my mentions.

Genocide denial is the last and final stage of genocide and constitutes complicity in genocide.

Matze Schmidt, you are complicit in genocide.

And history is taking notes.

The #Hamas has been attacking Chan Yunis on August, 20 in the south of #Gaza. An ongoing war led by #Israel against the armed is to be expected although there been demonstrations against it. The Strip is in fact a prison in which the Ḥarakat al-muqāwama al-islāmiyya (Islamic Resistance) rules people. There is an urban warfare going on and no genocide. The genocide accusation is discussed for being a narrative by arab sides but is the modern form of creating a scapegoat.
