Only to you and other individuals of your ilk who, according to repeatedly replicated scientific research facts ( vs your and your ilk's feelings/opinion (which are not facts, snowflake) are likely to of be low IQ and lacking in vocabulary and verbal fluency, among numerous other inadequacies. Educate yourself before you make ignorant, uninformed and uninsightful comments.

Lets listen to the "SCIENCE" now.

Funny, and hypocritical, how you refuted "science" when it came to the Smackzeens, but you call up all kinds of junk "science" to bolster your foolish contentions about swearing and cursing.

Probably in much the same way you are perfectly fine with hurling insults and invective at others, but get upset when the truth about what you are doing comes back at you.

I'm unaware of sny reports of Hitler swearing. If he/she did, it was very sparing. Hitler was a control freak. It's control freaks who dislike swearing. The relationship of swearing with IQ has been reported on multiple times following different investigations. Other things correlated with high IQ: laziness, untidiness, lack of punctuality. Hitler was a neat freak and bery punctual. Trump swears a lot and is lazy (lazysmart-wants the quickest, easiest solutions that do not generate unnecessary work)

I am so beyond tired of you trying to justify yourself and excuse your barbarisms. You need to drop it right now. Only the perversely stupid continue on the path to self destruction, prompted and goaded onward in it enslaved to pride and ego. Continue along this path and you will find out too late exactly where all this is headed.

Mock and scoff at your own risk

Have you seen this? A recent substack by Meryl Nass links to it. None of this excuses what Hamas has done but it seems there is a strong prima facie case against the Israelis for using Hamas' crime as a pretext to commit the crime of genocide, as well as crimes against humanity and other horrors.

Israel Charged with Genocide at the International Court of Justice

by Jeremy R. Hammond, Dec 30, 2023 Foreign Policy

"On December 29, the government of South Africa filed an application instituting proceedings against the government of Israel at the International Court of Justice (ICJ), which is the principal judicial organ of the United Nations (UN) and is also sometimes referred to as the World Court. The application states that Israel has violated the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, or the Genocide Convention, with its military operations in the Gaza Strip ongoing since October 7.

South Africa condemns the October 7 attacks in Israel by Palestinian armed groups Hamas and Islamic Jihad, in which 1,139 people were killed, according to Israeli officials, including 373 security force members, 695 Israeli civilians, and 71 foreigners. Among the Israeli civilians killed were 36 children. However, as South Africa also points out, no armed attacks, however atrocious, could possibly justify retaliatory acts of genocide.

The application states:

The acts and omissions by Israel complained of by South Africa are genocidal in character because they are intended to bring about the destruction of a substantial part of the Palestinian national, racial and ethnical group, that being the part of the Palestinian group in the Gaza Strip (‘Palestinians in Gaza’). The acts in question include killing Palestinians in Gaza, causing them serious bodily and mental harm, and inflicting on them conditions of life calculated to bring about their physical destruction. The acts are all attributable to Israel, which has failed to prevent genocide and is committing genocide in manifest violation of the Genocide Convention, and which has also violated and is continuing to violate its other fundamental obligations under the Genocide Convention, including by failing to prevent or punish the direct and public incitement to genocide by senior Israeli officials and others.

South Africa also notes the importance of placing Israel’s acts of genocide “in the broader context of Israel’s conduct towards Palestinians during its 75-year-long apartheid, its 56-year-long belligerent occupation of Palestinian territory and its 16-year-long blockade of Gaza, including the serious and ongoing violations of international law associated therewith, including grave breaches of the Fourth Geneva Convention, and other war crimes and crimes against humanity.”

The genocide is being perpetrated “against a background of apartheid, expulsion, ethnic cleansing, annexation, occupation, discrimination, and the ongoing denial of the right of the Palestinian people to self-determination”, the application states.

Additionally, Israel’s military operation, dubbed “Operation Swords of Iron”, is being conducted with openly genocidal intent. The application provides extensive documentation of Israeli political leaders and military officials expressing their calculated aim of bringing about the physical destruction of the Palestinians in Gaza as a group.

The estimated Palestinian death toll at the time of the application’s submission was over 21,110. Thousands of others are missing and presumed dead under the rubble, and tens of thousands have been injured.

The fact that Israel’s actions reflect the transparent genocidal intent is evident from the proportion of civilians killed. Setting aside evidence that at least some Israeli civilians were killed by Israel’s own security forces on October 7 and attributing all deaths to the indiscriminate violence by Palestinian militants, we can see that about 67 percent of the dead were civilians, and about 3 percent were children.

This contrasts with the estimate that about 70 percent of the Palestinians killed by Israeli forces in Gaza have been women and children. Children alone make up over 36 percent of deaths, with the estimate at the time being over 7,729 children killed. These numbers reflect the indiscriminate nature of Israel’s bombardment and belie the preposterous claim that the Israeli military does everything possible to avoid harm to civilians.

While Western media continue to refer to the ongoing violence as the “Israel-Hamas War”, the stark observable reality is that Israel, which boasts one of the most powerful militaries in the world, is targeting the defenseless civilian population of the concentration camp known as Gaza, a densely populated strip of land with about 2.3 million people, 70 percent of whom are refugees or their descendants from the Zionist forces’ ethnic cleansing of Palestine in 1948, and about half of whom are children.

Referring to the clear repeated incitements to genocide by prominent Israeli figures, the application states:

That intent is also properly to be inferred from the nature and conduct of Israel’s military operation in Gaza, having regard inter alia to Israel’s failure to provide or ensure essential food, water, medicine, fuel, shelter and other humanitarian assistance for the besieged and blockaded Palestinian people, which has pushed them to the brink of famine. It is also clear from the nature, scope and extent of Israel’s military attacks on Gaza, which have involved the sustained bombardment over more than 11 weeks of one of the most densely populated places in the world, forcing the evacuation of 1.9 million people or 85% of the population of Gaza from their homes and herding them into ever smaller areas, without adequate shelter, in which they continue to be attacked, killed and harmed.

In addition to the massive death toll, Israel’s actions make clear its intent to render Gaza uninhabitable and to deny the Palestinians the means to survive ..."
