"death by sloganeering and ignorant rhetoric" = "I can't argue Jack's points with facts and logic"

The ICJ (UN highest court of which Israel is a member) agrees mostly if not completely with my position. A majority of the UN general assembly agrees mostly if not completely with my position. Only the US, Israel, and (IIRC) Fiji disagree.

A majority of the world is against Israel in this situation. That is not "sloganeering" and/or "ignorant rhetoric." Israel and its backer, the US, have (IMO) made a huge tactical if not strategic blunder in their response to the 7 October, 2023 attack by Hamas and others out of Gaza.

I personally don't think Israel will recover politically from their decisions here. The world is too interconnected and technologically developed to accept the kind of colonialism that allowed the creation of such countries as the US, Canada, and Australia; too interconnected and technologically developed to accept the ethnic cleansing and genocide as the Nazis perpetrated against the Jews and other groups in the 1930s and 1940s.

"Never again" means, for most of the signers of the Geneva Convention, "never again for anyone." Seeing these atrocities in real time, reported from hundreds of independent sources, it is not possible for a majority of the world to ignore and/or be ignorant to what is going on.

IMO this will not end well for Israel. The sooner Israel stopped their butchery, the better for them.
