> Hamas, given the chance, would be performing real genocide.
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.
But they are. They are at the forefront of a multi pronged effort to delegitimize the Jewish state.
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.
Please do spell out the end game. It looks like Hamas is currently reduced to a guerilla operation. They won't be eradicated but how they're close to winning is beyond me.
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.
