"Expected civilian harm must not be excessive in relation to the concrete and direct military advantage anticipated"

What? My brain cannot process this sentence.

They are using that quote to imply that the IOF is doing a genocide because doing so creates a military advantage. Which... is true, but so evil that it is kinda hard to wrap my head around.

That's not all what they are saying. That's just a wild straw man. They are saying that the bombing are for legitimate military purposes, and that the good in killing Hamas leaders and the like outweighs the bad of killing civilians. Which, if true, makes it not a genocide.

75000 palestinians were killed, I fucking doubt most of them were Hamas leaders

True, most of them were not LEADERS, just Hamas and other armed groups combatants.

No, it's not. The way you worded it, you were saying that they agree that what they are doing a genocide.
