It’s not genocide, and little details are knows as to why they were killed. The ones struck by rockets are the casualties of war, just like Russian citizens who annexed The Krim (or were born there) could die there if Ukraine is fighting to take the land back.
I don’t know how it went down on the streets. Shooting on fleeing citizens is still a no-go in respect to the Geneva Convention (Palestine has agreed to all terms, Israel has not 1), which is unlikely given the low number of deaths on the Israeli side, versus the Palestinian side [2].
It would seem likely that the additional deaths were of civilians who were attacking those taking part in the conflict, which revokes them of the protections granted to civilians.
It’s a complicated conflict, and I’m just making assumptions (as are you), but comparing casualties on both sides and hearing the atrocious stories of the Israeli government beating down innocent Palestines on their own grounds, does give me a tendancy to lean towards Palestine more.
Charming. And another deflection. You know exactly that I’m referring to you supporting Hamas being allowed to carry out the genocide they continually and explicitly call for.
If Israel had decided that they wanted a genocide of the Arab peoples in the Palestine area, there would not be any Arabs living there. Instead some 30% of Israeli citizens are ethnically Arab and the populations in the W.B and Gaza are constantly growing.
The IDF usually goes to a lot of effort to avoid unneccessary civilian casualties and the state of Israel goes to a lot of effort to maintain standards of living for Arabs in independent Gaza and the W.B autonomous areas.
In fact, I might even say that Israel cares more about the lives of civilians in the Gaza strip than Hamas does.

So these people, who were born and raised in Israel and who know no other homes, should go… where, exactly?
Yeah. What you’re arguing for is genocide.

Nice deflection. Doesn’t change the fact that you’re supporting genocide though.

That’s a great long grouping of words to say “I didn’t do enough research”.
Those bodies in tents at the rave sure looked like they were trying to fight back spread eagle on the ground with bullet holes in their backs.

you seem to want to conveniently ignore that there is plenty of evidence that Israel is equally genocidal in their actions and words.

Controversial.
