Yepp! Now they get carte blanche to do their desired genocide and ethnic cleansing and media intimidation/narrative supplement.
I mean, if they were looking to do a genocide I don't think they'd bother to use precision strikes, warming knocker bombs, and tell civilians to flee.
Seems to me Hamas with their rhetoric of ending Israel and killing all Jews are the genocidal part. Don't want to see what would happen if they had the military Israel has.
Make no mistake, Israel is still an apartheid state run by awful people, but this is not genocide. This is trying to minimizer casualties in an urban combat situation.
They do that so they can justify it afterwards. Warnings dont do anything because the people in Gaza can't leave and Israel knows this. It's by design after all.
I know, but where are they supposed to go? The Gaza Strip is one of the most densely populated places on earth. Hamas is everywhere in Gaza. The initial deadline of 24 hours was even more impossible. These are not accidents, Israel knows this.
Israel has killed full Palestinian families in Gaza. This isn't people "caught in the crossfire". This is Israel bringing the crossfire to their beds and homes. This is Israel's continuing ethnic cleansing.
While I don't know about precision strikes, they haven't been warning civilians before striking these past few days, and in fact many times designated an evacuation destination and bombed it. And don't get me started on the white phosphorus. They're definitely not avoiding civilian deaths (I mean why would you try to avoid the deaths of "human animals"). Oh, and I don't see how holding journalists at gunpoint has anything to do with minimizing casualties.
Israel has been genocidal for a while now, but they've been going full holocaust recently.
The IDFs playbook seems awful bad at minimizing casualties.
That's up to history, sadly, whether it's genocide or not. Genocide has many characteristics, it's not only killing a population by guns or other means.
The definition of genocide does not care about the means, only about the goal or result.
you forgot the part where they bombed the only exit out.
