Genocide requires intent and deeds. I think it's reasonable to consider the attacks of October 2023 to be genocide. The intent is clear from their founding statements, and the deeds likely qualify as well.
However, I also think it's reasonable to consider the ongoing war in Gaza to be genocide as well. The statements from officials waver but are often genocidal in nature, and the destruction and loss of life is too.
It's not a contest, both genocides are bad. But using one to justify the other doesn't make the second one better.
Contrast that with the frequent genocidal declarations made by the Hamas and other Muslim entities against the Jews, which themselves are confirmed by their actions on the ground.
Sure, but they're not. Israel however? I think there is compelling evidence that it is being given the chance and taking the world up on it.
Again, no one is justifying what Hamas did.
Do you need for me to spell out how that would be genocide for the Jews, or are you at least familiar enough with the Middle East for that to be clear?
Be there no mistake, even if Hamas wins that does not mean peace. Hezbollah and other Iranian proxies are waiting to pour into the holy land, those Shiites will do the Sunni Hamas exactly what Hamas had done to the Jews. And Hamas knows this.
I still don't understand how you can be worried about one side committing genocide if you're okay with the other side doing it.
It should also be noted that most of Hamas's murders in October 2023 were on that first day, further bolstering my claim. And they did not target military leaders, warning away civilians like Israel does. Instead, the pulled babies from wombs and burned babies alive.
