  • I hate to say “it depends” but it sort of does on how you are defining it. Like, what do you consider what the US did to, say, Korea, Vietnam, Laos, etc? I think you could make the case that at least some, if not all of those, were genocides post-WWII but the US still survives (as does SK). On a long enough timeline, it may be true, but also defeats the meaning of the statement. I just don’t think it is a true description of objective reality unfortunately. It relies on a large enough resistance to the genocide to force the existential crisis of the state, which is not necessarily a given. You could argue that, in the case of Is***l, it does not have the defensive depth or bredth to survive this attempt in the face of its resistance, but that also discounts the role that the US and Western European powers play in this particular genocide. Is the US committing suicide by committing this genocide in Palestine? Again, the answer may just be sicko-wistful
