Given your stance, if a murderer runs in your house then you'll understand when the police break the door down and kill you and everyone inside right?

If a murderer lives in your house for decades and you knew they were a murderer and were plotting more murders but you did nothing to root them out yourself, maybe you’re an accessory.

It probably doesn’t justify the death penalty, but it also doesn’t help.

IDF doesn't have intent to destroy palestinian group, they have intent to destroy Hamas, so probably you only can call it genocide against Hamas. Genocide was in Ukraine for example, when Russia targeted powerplants during winter, which didn't have any military value.

That is propaganda for the west. If it where the case they would not be dropping 2000 pound bombs on civilians [1]. [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9fP-J8m-BF0 [NY Times: Visual Evidence Shows Israel Dropped Bombs Where It Ordered Gaza Civilians to Go ]

I urge you to look up the definition of a genocide as defined by the United Nations. It's not just an accusation being thrown around for rhetorical purposes. This slaughter meets all the criteria.

It does not. The war is being waged with the intent to destroy Hamas (which has itself stated that its goal is to destroy Israel, if given the chance), not to kill every last Palestinian. See also https://youtu.be/L9n77DPJ7AE

So you would kill civilians, women and children on a "maybe" and would indiscriminately judge 500k people the same way.

Both sides in every violent conflict ever have probably used this same line of reasoning, simultaneously. It doesn't help.

> A lot of Palestinian content descends straight into hyperbole. People have somehow been convinced a small amount of civilians being killed relative to the whole population is somehow a “genocide”. This is the consequence of totally unmoderated content. A genocide is the indiscriminate distruction of a population, that is exactly what Israel (with the support of the USA) is doing to Palestine.

Words have meanings. You truly think the current targeting has absolutely no distinction from just chunking bombs into a population centers at random.

If you actually want to engage people on this topic, you are going to have to learn to moderate your language. Saying Israel is not using enough discretion when picking targets and the number of civilian casualties is too high, actually invites a nuanced discussion.

I don't think GBU-39 suggested by journalist to be used instead can target deep underground facilities.
