@risinggael1685 Making comments without checking all the facts is not clever.
Here are the facts: How would your country react if for 17 years your neighbor had fired tens of thousands of rockets and missiles toward you, killing civilians, elderly, women children and boys, and demolishing many houses?
All this time, Israel responded by firing at the sources of fire of the Hamas terrorists who were hiding among the local population and Israel avoided hitting them so as not to hit the innocents.
After the slaughter on October 7, Israel decided that enough is enough and that this terrorist organization must be eliminated once and for all.
The war against them began in northern Gaza and Israel earlier informed the residents to move south so they would not be harmed.
Hundreds of thousands of them moved south and were not harmed, others who preferred to stay in their homes did so at their own risk and can only blame themselves.
Until now, Hamas has fired about 15,000 missiles and rockets at Israel, causing heavy losses to Israel.
And now to the charge of genocide.
You can read the definition for this in the UN discussions. What is happening in Gaza certainly does not meet this definition.
Until now, if we believe the Hamas terrorists who always exaggerate, about 27,000 people have been killed, and this also includes about 10,000 terrorists and hundreds more who were killed there as a result of Hamas rockets falling on their houses because they were failed to be launched because of technical failures. Many more of them were killed because they stayed at their homes and did not evacuate as Israel suggested them.
So how many civilians were killed by your count? Maybe 16,000 out of a population of 2,300,000 citizens. And this is what you call genocide?
You can compare these numbers to the approximately 24,000 civilians who were bombed and murdered in Dresden at the end of WW2 by Great Britain, and all this for just one night compared to the four months during which Israel operates in Gaza, this points to the caution with which Israel operates not to harm innocents, which costs it many victims.
How did you come to the insight that their return to the south would lead to genocide?
The Gaza Strip is not a concentration camp and Israelis are not Nazis. Israel could have done this a long time ago, but that is not their intention. The intention is to get rid of the Hamas terrorists while wanting not to harm innocents.
They won't stay there forever. After the restoration of the Gaza Strip, they will return to their place.
You can read on Wikipedia about the number of people who were actually murdered in the really genocides, which number many millions.
