And some people are falsely accusing the Israelis of genocide. Sad. Imagine thinking the Assad regime engaging in genocide is somehow proof the Israelis aren't.

Imagine someone laughing about anything related to genocide.
The absurd logic employed is laughable.
No one's (as near as I can tell) denying or downplaying that the Assad regime is genocidal.
But they're not the only regime in the region that's facing credible accusations of genocide and those accusations aren't magically false merely because supporters of that regime would like them to be.
Snark alone isn't enough to defend Israel from the absolutely well-founded accusations. Loudly proclaiming themselves as guiltless victims in response to those accusations won't either.
