“Officials said that Israel and Egypt were prepared to let foreigners leave the Strip which is under heavy Israeli bombardment, but Hamas had refused.”

    I could not declare genocide.

    Do I really need to go find every quote from Bibi and Israeli Officials declaring their intent?

    Not do decades of persecution PRIOR to Hamas even existing.

    Not have Israel fund Hamas for years.

    Not drop bombs on refugee camps.

    Not cut off food, water, electricity.

    Not shoot peaceful protesters.

    Not kill journalists.

    Not kill clearly marked medics.

    Do I really need to go on?

    “What could they have done to prevent this?”

    Fuck
    off.

      Not doing any of this stuff would’ve meant a Palestinian state in Gaza led by Hamas.

      Such a state would’ve killed many more jews.

      Is it really that hard to see such obvious facts? What action has Palestinian ever done to warrant faith from the Israeli side that they wouldn’t get massacres if Palestinians had a state.

      It’s as simple as that. Make Israelis not feel threatened, make a state. Do make Israelis feel threatened, get oppression.

      And no other country in the world would do differently when feeling threatened. Some would do actual genocide and have 2 million dead.
