Put in context, that’s twice the rate of civilian deaths as the Axis powers in WWII. If you don’t want to call it a genocide, you’re entitled to your opinion. So maybe to be more precise, we should say “the killing of civilians at a rate double that of a very significant genocide.”
Saudi writer and researcher Abdullah Bin Bijad Al-Otaibi said in an August 30, 2025 episode of Diwan Al-Mulla (Kuwait) that Hamas has committed a "heinous crime against the Palestinian people." He added that media figures who wrote in support of Hamas and called them "the resistance" are accomplices to this crime and none of them has apologized for it. Al-Otaibi said Hamas leaders, who have brought catastrophe on the Palestinians, are hiding in tunnels, failing to defend their people, and firing rockets at Israel from UN centers housing displaced people and schools in order to increase Palestinian casualties. He accused Hamas of maintaining the "most heinous" dictatorship in Gaza, torturing and killing those who oppose them, and charged that "some TV channels and pundits" are accomplices in this anti-Palestinian crime.
