    Commiting genocide against a civilian population is not self defense.

    Only Hamas is doing that, though.

      Isreal is indiscriminately bombing civilian population centers and diving out people based on ethnicity.

      What Isreal is doing absolutely falls under the category of genocide.

      Kill civilians is indefensible.

        These two things are mutually exclusive

            I don’t support genocide in any way, shape, or form, but rather don’t buy into the narrative that Israel is at all committing genocide.

            There’s lots to be upset with Israel about without exaggerating to literally the worst thing possible.

          They’ve been bombing civilian centers.

          They’ve been evicting people from their homes based on ethnicity.

          These are two different actions.

            I see your confusion now.

            They’re doing the latter because of the former, not as an organized and permanent method of displacement.

            Hamas attempts to pen people in with threats of violence (and acts of violence) in an attempt to maximize civilian casualties as well.

        Isreal is indiscriminately bombing civilian/Palestinian population centers and diving people out of their homes.*

        A 48 hour WW2 era artillery barrages would flatten the Gaza Strip. Believing that Israel is “indiscriminately bombing” the strip requires you to believe that they’re the most incompetent military force to have ever walked the planet.

          When I say “indiscriminate” I mean “disregard for civilian casualties” not “random bombings”.

            They clearly have a regard for civilian casualties. That’s why they haven’t hit some mosques, schools and other buildings that are known to be seats of Hamas’ power.
