It is staggering that people are still operating within the framework that the war in Gaza is a “genocide” when none of the evidences support it. We know that genocide is about an intent to erase an entire population, so the whole military campaign as conducted by Israel is proving that it’s not. War experts go as far as describing it as ‘exemplary’ and ‘unprecedented’ in the extent the Israeli army goes to protect civilians. From the combatants to civilian casualties ratio (less than 1:2) which is unheard of in modern warfare, to the advance warning of the civilian population before operating in any area, to the massive amount of humanitarian aid given, while Hamas is killing Israeli soldiers as they provide it. We’re not in a position to even debate if it is a genocide, when categorically it isn’t. This is just another version of an age old blood libel, a conspiracy theory that frames the Jewish nation as killing non-Jews just for the sake of killing them. When the reality is that there was no war on October 6th. It all started when Hamas invaded Israel and slaughtered women and children, raped girls, kidnapped babies and their mothers and still, to this moment, refuses to release them. In fact, it is not even a war, for as long as Hamas is holding the 132 Israeli hostages in Gaza and refuse to let them go, it is nothing more than a rescue mission.
