A couple of points:
- If I was defending Israel's actions as that poster has tended to do, I would not use an example that resulted in genocide. That's just me. But as you said, his or her mileage may vary.
- I would really challenge your view of the word 'peace' in this context. Yes, technically there would be no more war between two opposing sides. But morally that's not any kind of 'peace'
