Failing to call a genocide a genocide, or a Holocaust a Holocaust, is very suburban denialist person living near to a death camp circa the 1940's, and I like to think I'd never be that.
I've always regarded failing to acknowledge mass murder and persecution a really serious social faux pas. Rather below accepted standards of conduct and politeness.
A gentleman acknowledges atrocity.

Thats wonderful! I agree.
Shall I take this to mean you are calling out the murder of civilians (terrorism) as well as mass murder of both sides, the Israeli and Palestinian and condemning them both? Short of condeming **both** you are not living up to that ideal. If you do, then you are.
@freemo You can take it any way you like. Almost nobody in the west really supports terrorism knowingly, the reasons to insist upon such condemnations are highly psychologically unnatural, and linked to the propaganda produced by the military industrial complex, one that has an insistence on a faux equivalency, while subjecting innocent civilians. to genocide, for the acts of terrorists.
It is an insistence, and indoctrination, propagated only by those of low character and war criminals

This is a bit of a bold take. Are you saying that the point of demanding that terrorism be condemned is to justify state-sponsored terrorism against terrorists?
@freemo @lhgmk2 It’s not impossible to understand, although I had to read it twice.
The take is definitely bold. There might be some truth to it, although the citizen class making sure other peers aren’t supportive of terrorism makes perfect sense.
This instinct might be co-opted by the government of course but motive and weaponization are two entirely different things.
