It's not justification, but the reality. War is horrible and innocent people will always die in war.

Genocide has no justification

It depends on the context - just ask the presidents of Harvard, MIT and UPenn

Wow, do people downvoting the comment above really think that genocide can be somehow justified?

If the population is massively increasing it is _obviously_ not a genocide.

Clearly you haven’t even bothered looking up what genocide is:
> What is the legal definition of genocide?
> The definition contained in Article II of the Convention describes genocide as a crime committed with the intent to destroy a national, ethnic, racial or religious group, in whole or in part
Note that it only requires intent, it doesn’t require the population to be completely annihilated
Seems like you’d just wait until all Palestinians are dead and only then be like “oh well, now we can call it a genocide”

Since there is no Israeli intent to kill all Palestinians, and there is plenty of evidence for Hamas's intent to kill all Israelis (see [1] as an example), are you accusing the Palestinians of genocide against the Israelis?
