Okay, so no rebuttal to any of my points.

I'll tell you what: I'll give you a chance to respond and make a counter-argument to what I *actually wrote* in good faith, or you can chalk this up as a clear win against your imaginary opponent. I honestly don't mind either way, but those are the only two options I'm offering.

Check: It's not genocide because Israel hasn't killed enough of them yet.

Okay, so you agree that Israel isn't committing genocide. It's been 3 years and Israel hasn't managed to kill all the Gazans, and the Gazans' population has actually gone up. You saying that it's genocide is a criminally evil lie. Crying wolf about genocide is awful.

You're witnessing a very just, and ethically demanded, war of defence against barbarism where the defenders are bending over backwards to protect civilians and the attackers are hiding behind poor civilians.

The plight of the "Palestinians" is nobody's fault but their own.

This is a war of civilization and the rule of law against barbarism and lawlessness. And yet you have a massive problem with that.

Reading comprehension is not your strong suit, nor is basic history of Israel's insertion into Palestine by the British.

It's a weird "genocide" that results in the "palestinian" population being six times what it was when Israel became a modern state.

"You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means ..."

Let's check the Israel apologist playbook:

Check: Imply Palestine isn't real.
Check: It's not genocide because Israel hasn't killed enough of them yet.

~70k civilians aren't enough, carpet-bombing their land isn't enough, forcing them into "safe zones" then bombing the safe zones, denying Palestinian refugees medical aid and food, the Israeli government routinely referring to Palestinians with sub-human wording doesn't tip you off either.

I have to say though, your argument of taking nearly a century's worth of population growth and comparing it to less than 3 years of a full-scale massacre is among the most dishonest uses of statistics I have ever seen. What will you do for an encore, take the Jewish European population growth rate over a century prior to the Holocaust and say, "nah, that wasn't a genocide either"?

The obvious conclusion is that unless the situation for Palestinians changes dramatically for the better, then Israel won't need to build extermination chambers, they will just let them choose between dying of poverty or a routine military criminal action.

The reason I ended up being Nova Launcher was that the QuickStep launcher that came with my Nokia 8.3 was mildly irritating to begin with in that it required a Search box on the home screen, then later it became more annoying when the Clock widget suddenly required either Location or Calendar connectivity (I don't use Calendar and Location is switched off on my phone unless I require it), otherwise it would have an error message in the middle of my home screen. I don't ask Nova to do very much at all, just to do the basics correctly and not be broken. The likelihood of a new, must-have, completely indispensable feature coming out this late in the day is virtually nil, in my opinion.
