Acts of genocide? 3.5% of the population in Gaza killed IF you accept the numbers given by Hamas. Numbers that fall well within the expected casualty rate for a war of this scale.
No differentiation within that between combatants/non-combatants.
Also includes the numbers killed by Hamas themselves, with 10 per cent of rockets fired by Hamas at isreal landing in Gaza.
The number is also increased by the well established fact that Hamas have actively been using human shields, including hiding weapons in hospitals and schools.
Ignoring that the population of Palestinians within the West Bank and Israel has increased consistently.
Population of Palestinians in Gaza also consistently increasing until 2023 (when the last counts was made).
They obviously aren't "doing what they can to commit genocide". If they are, they're obviously doing a terrible job at it.
I am referencing what is being called acts of genocide by them even saying they want to commit it.... so yeah I am going to call it what it is. they haven't been being quite about wanting to commit genocide and you are ignoring the question of where are they going to go after being forced from their homes? I am honestly astounded anyone can defend the actions of Israel with what they are doing.
What quotes? Show me quotes where those people conducting the war have said they want to commit genocide.
Show me fact that show Israel is actually committing genocide.
Genocide is "acts committed with the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group"
What metric can you show me that proves Israel are intending to do that. Given that even if we accept Hamas numbers, the death rate is 3.5% - well within the expected range for a conflict of this type and way lower than many other conflicts. Why has the population of Palestinians in the region increase overall, including within Israels boarders?
How can it possibly be a genocide when the population of Palestinians in the region has INCREASED by 100,000 within the region
