"You can't be mad at them for killing a lot of Palestinians when they've shown incredible restraint in not killing all of them" is a hell of an argument, I'll give you that. Still genocide though. There's no victim-count aspect to this definition, they are attacking Palestinians, living in Palestine, because they are Palestinian, and they want to settle those areas with Israeli's. We don't need to wait for them to kill a certain percentage of the population to then be able to declare it a genocide.

And, like even if I take this:

> I read a report about how they asked a Palestinian to alert his neighbors via a phone call and waited for him to tell everyone to get out.

at 100% face value, that some militants were in some building and the IDF was about to reduce it to ashes... so they called the guy next door, and asked him to evacuate the building? Which is presumably... full of militants? Cuz that's like the whole thing, that's the whole fuckin point?

You talk a lot about how nothing I say makes sense but that's just nonsensical on it's face, like... if these attacks are genuinely needed, why in the world would you warn people beforehand? Doesn't that completely defeat the purpose?

> the Palestinians (and the other neighboring Arab nations) want to kill all the Israelis and destroy Israel.

I mean they can want that as hard as they want, but Israel has the military and political backing of the West. They're untouchable, as has been demonstrated by them being surrounded by enemies essentially since the state was partitioned off from the others during it's founding, and it's still there.
