Ignore Hamas. Read the infamous report from the US that was used by Israel as evidence they weren’t committing genocide. The report cleared Israel, and so it was used as a defense.
But actually read the report.
According to the US / Israel, they’re holding up food, making it difficult to access, making it get stuck in transit, making it get lost, making zero effort to facilitate / distribute, making it dangerous for people to solve it themselves, etc.
But they never triggered the video game-like definition of genocide. They didn’t use god-like powers to absolutely withhold food. They didn’t declare “I’m doing a genocide.” Technically some people could eat sometimes, and some pencil pusher can’t change definitions on the fly, therefore no genocide.
That’s the good version of what Israel is doing, as per their allies / their own mouth. Not genocide according to some definition, just genocide as everyone else would understand it.

I would look up the definition of genocide. What hamas did was objectively bad, but not a genocide. What israel is doing is.

Ah yes, going into israel to rape, kill and enslave jews for being jewish and destroying religional and cultural jewish places is not a genocide, got it.
However, carrying out a well planned and structured militaty operation on hamas terrorists is one, oh well.
Did you read the definition of genocide?
the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group. “a campaign of genocide” (the aim to destroy that nation or group is important here, hamas, hezbollah, houthis and iran want to kill all jews[nation or ethnic group], israel want to destroy hamas[terrorist group, neither a nation nor an ethnic group])
I just say “from the river to the sea” or “kill all jews”

So why are Arabs living in Israel if they want to commit a genocide?
Seems Israel is really bad at it, lmao
