I appreciate this good faith response. These aren’t bad sources and I’ve gone through some of this material several months ago when making my mind up about this, my position is pretty in line with this scholar quoted in your TIME article:

David Simon, director of the genocide studies program at Yale University, says that Israel has only explicitly said they want to exterminate Hamas, and has not directly stated intent to “destroy a religious, ethnic or racial group.” Simon says it’s possible a court could conclude that either Hamas or some elements of the Israel Defense Force (IDF) could be found guilty of committing an act of genocide, but “it’s certainly not textbook in that connecting the intent to destroy ethnic group as such is difficult.”

Nonetheless I do agree that the IDF has committed multiple war crimes during the Israel-Hamas War, going back to its beginning when their besieged Gaza, for which Israel must be held accountable.
