    What do you call it when you tell Palestinians to evacuate to a particular safe area as you’re about to do some bombing, but then you bomb that supposedly safe area you just sent families into? What do you call it when you kill more than 10,000 Palestinian children? I mean, that kinda seems more than a little bit like wanting to eradicate Palestinians.

    But also, why did Netanyahu even want Hamas rather than the PA running Gaza in the first place?

      What i’d call it? War crimes. On the same level as Russia. Is Russia being accused of genocide because they bomb schools and hospitals? No, they are commuting war crimes. Russia was accused of genocide because they deported children - and they have been found guilty for that.

      Israel is committing war crimes left and right while fighting Hamas, but that’s no genocide.

        Ukraine is a very large nation, Russia would have to pull out the nukes to bomb their way into genocide. Gaza is just a city, Israel has it easy.

        But also… how is stealing children genocide but killing them ain’t?

          If someone argue (genocide vs war crime) while the world experts who came up with the law of what consider genocide are calling it genocide, you know it is useless speaking with them
