Israel could just in minutes kill everyone in gaza. They have choosen not to do so in the past and are choosing now to not do so. Does civilians die in war? Yes, just like russian civilians have died when ukraine attacked military targets.

That wasn’t his point. You threw out an accusation of genocide and he refuted it.

Ask yourself, if Hamas had the a-bomb, would they hesitate to use it?

One can argue that they might but this is a hypothetical scenario that we all know that it is never going to happen.
But I think the reality that the only time it was used, it was used against civilian targets not military targets. And of course there is a justification here, it was for the greater good!
The other reality is isreal killed thousands of people before Oct 7th and did and will do. But of course there is a justification too, self-defense ..etc.

No, it can easily be argued that the reason is nuclear fallout that will affect isreal itself and other states will lead to regional war and disaster for isreal. This does no refute anything.

Just so everyone understands the scale - Russia killed 550 Ukrainian children in 2.5 yrs of war.
In less than 3 weeks, Israel has killed 3000. [1]

Not true. You are comparing independently verified deaths from external sources with Hamas own propaganda. Only in Mauripol russia is believed to have killed around 70 000 civilians.
