So genocide is okay in your eyes as long as a fraction of the people you bomb are terrorists? How would you feel if your loved ones died and you lost your entire neighborhood because someone living a few blocks away was a terrorist? You have no food, no water, and no home because a small percentage of the people in your neighborhood performed an action that you had no part of.

Is it worth the current death toll? Eight thousand dead in Palestine, 24 straight days of bombing, 29 journalists killed, and 3500 dead children is okay in your book because of some terrorists? That's not including the 21,000 people that were injured. 183,000 residential units, 221 education facilities, 24 ambulances, and 38 places of worship damaged or completely gone. 34% of hospitals on the Gaza Strip aren't functioning. Six thousand bombs in six days. That's the number dropped on Afghanistan in one year, and Afghanistan is 1800x bigger.

I understand that they are hiding behind civilians, but there is a middleground between letting Hamas run wild and threatening to turn Palestine into a deserted island.

I would feel horrible, and what is going on in Palistine is horrible, but in my opinion Hamas did have choice and Israel does not. Therefore, the horrible things that are happening right now are squarely Hamas fault. It would be Israel fault, if it targeted purposefully civilians, but it does not.

You can call it genocide, whatever, but it is Hamas that doing it with Israeli hands. Israel just can’t stop because of Hamas is using human shields. Because otherwise, Hamas would do again and again in future which would lead to even more wars, more people dying. Do you want this to be repeated each couple of years? Then yes, argue for Israel to stop.
