It seemed to acknowledge that peoples other than Jews can also be victims of genocide.

This is considered controversial because Israel, which attempts to position itself as representing Jewish interests, is perpetrating a genocide on non-Jews as we speak. They deny that they are committing genocide.

Well but if they deny they're committing genocide then they still can be against genocide right?

This is a rhetorical statement btw

I agree with your rhetorical statement, but I think I'm missing some implication.

It's a true statement, I just don't understand what you're pointing out.

Rhetorical because they're fucking hypocrites who believe that killing Palestinians is the right thing to do so they get to do whatever they want.

ohh, that makes more sense. I thought it meant never again but just for the Jews, otherwise it's okay. Actually my take seems more accurate currently
