    With respect, what on Earth are you on about?

    Palestine hasn't existed on Israeli maps for a while . They said "There's no such thing as a Palestinian people", and ultimately it's clear that Israel is trying to eradicate all Palestinians into Egypt and neighbouring countries.

    Israel’s ismm actions are GENOCIDE, plain and simple. They do not recognise Palestine. The dehumanising language being used is textbook, in removing their humanity. They want all of the land to become Israel and they want all Palestinians out. Settlers on the west bank are clearing neighborhoods of people completely unrelated to the Hamas attack, with support from the Israeli police.

    Was the Hamas attack genocide? They definitely intended as such; and killed over a thousand people indiscriminately with the aim of causing as much damage as possible.

    But you cannot look at Israel’s actions and say what they’re doing isn’t genocide. That “this is war” is no excuse for the sheer scale of war crimes being committed.

    In 2018 innocent, peaceful protesters were being killed for sport, many of them children.. I have no confidence that the very same murderers, guiding rockets and now participating in the ground offence are any different and will have any sympathy for the Palestinians, whether it’s an elderly woman or child.
