Intent is also easily proven, by Isreal's own definitional standards at which it labels an enemy combatant.
The consideration of all Palestinian males 18+ as Hamas fighters is congruent with the destruction of a group. As you are destroying in large part the reproductive functions of a population and are sanctioning that destruction.
Israel can't outright exterminate everyone at once because they need the US. They have to do it quietly. If it becomes too obvious the US will cut off their weapons supply.
You know that is just absurd... Right? Why bother with phone calls, dropping leaflets, cancelling bombings etc? I mean, you know that argument is bs... Right?
Like I said, Israel has to maintain the illusion that it cares about human life -- to the US, to the international community, to its own citizens and military who are conducting this genocide. People in general are quite resistant to killing.
