I think you are confused, Israel are the ones who are planning on carrying out genocide.
"Them" refers to the palestinians.
What the poster is arguing is that Israel incited the attack by years and years of oppression and forced displacement.
I don't fully agree with that sentiment. I don't condone the attack and blaming that on Israel alone is delusional, but I certainly will not "stand for Israel". Genocide is not an appropriate response and the flimsy excuse of citing the recent attack as the trigger for moving forward with their long-standing plan of ethnic cleansing is despicable.
I'm not confused, that other guy was being bad faith. I even made it clear in my comment who was doing the genocide.
