None of those criteria fit when talking about Palestinians in the West Bank (or Gaza before the war, but let's put that aside for now). The Palestinian population has increased in Israel, they are free to roam, reproduce, etc.
As I have said previously, one merely has to drive 15 minutes outside of Jerusalem to witness this. For anyone living in the Dead Sea area, as I did for over 3 years, it's _routine_ to see Palestinians existing just fine with none of the criteria for genocide at all. That's a fact, jack.
So.. what you're really saying is Israel is commiting "genocide" against Hamas. Wow. Alert the press. It's a war, initiated by Hamas and every terrorist attack they've been doing, not just Oct 7th. You're damn right Israel has a goal of wiping out every single one of those psychotic terrorists, and the world should be thanking us.
Instead, we're forced to try and distinguish Hamas from the civilians they use as human shields, and international anti-semetism that is hell-bent on getting the facts completely wrong. I am not saying the IDF is free of mistakes, but by and large it goes to extreme lengths to protect normal Palestinians.
What army on earth gives their enemy advance warning before attacking? The ratio of combatants to civilians is damn near miraculous in the current fighting conditions.
It's really impossible to mistake this for attempted genocide if you're honest.
Re: Molotov cocktail
Have you ever had one thrown at you personally? I have. It's no joke and it is absolutely 100% a lethal weapon. You can't attack a solider with a lethal weapon and not expect them to attack back. I don't care what the stats are, it should be expected every time.
