No it's cool, I just wanted to understand your POV, we don't have to agree :)
So... You mean negotiate with Hamas?
But let's hear them, why "hide" it?
But that's impossible to argue. You can claim for any ratio that it's a silent genocide as long as even a single citizen is killed. And we know a war without civilian casualties - even forgetting the situation of Hamas putting civilians forward as shields and even killing some themselves. Where do you draw the line?
Instead of examining the facts, you're opting for an easy cop-out that requires no proof and cannot be disproved.
And what will make you believe genocide isn't the end goal? The refugees leaving through Egypt don't?
There are troops on the ground and the bombings are not indiscriminate, but on legitimate military targets.
Do you believe the IDF is incompetent at doing a genocide then?
Here you go

Rockets literally stored 1m from the doorstep of a class room
The way I see it, Israel is doing its best to free the hospital from Hamas with as minimum innocents getting hurt as it can.
Those morons would be voted out in the next election along with Bibi, one can hope for improvement from here on out.
How messed up of a comparison. I don't even know where to begin because it's like explaining to someone why a flower is not an airplane...
What are they doing and who is trying to justify it?
On the other hand, I'm shocked someone would try to justify October 7th.
What? Are you actually trying to justify October 7th?
Israel needs to round up all of these violent settlers and put them in jail.
But it's important to differentiate this from the war with Hamas in Gaza.
Why would they want Ukraine to fall?
Oh great, another Lemmy user thinks Israel is targeting kids in Gaza...
You mean west bank terrorists and multiple 2 state solutions that Israel agreed to but the Palastinians rejected?
I'm sure they don't have macs, iPhones or androids, Intel laptops etc.
Sure, it took them a month or 2, just like everyone else. But look at them now.
