Historical "pogroms" were by a dominant majority population against an oppressed minority population. So the term "pogrom" is a bad fit for anything that Palestinians do, or have ever done, or might do in the future, to Israeli Jews.

The other way round (settler violence) though? I don't use the term for that myself, but I don't think it is a wrong term for it.

    Pogrom (a Yiddish word) in the proper sense means against this particular ethnic group - so correct term. But okay, by the generic definition, that's a fair argument.

    Personally I don't see humanity as dominators and dominated, but rather in terms of individuals. The intentions of Hamas against individual Israelis are very clear from their words and deeds. All that they lack is the means. That's why I will not be celebrating statehood for a nation run (partly) by this group.

    Says they see humanity as individuals

    Groups all Gazans as Hamas supporters

    Yeah, ok buddy. Great individualizing there. Because individual Palestinians who have never voted for Hamas deserve to get bombed.

    Like in your own words you showed you don't believe Palestinians as part of humanity.
