After Hamas has stormed Israel and killed more or less 1,400 Israelites on October 7, 2023, Israel retaliated by announcing an all out war against Hamas, and after the Israel Defense Forces have eliminated many Hamas warriors and officers, the same terrorist group is crying foul claiming that Israel has committed GENOCIDE against the PALESTINIANS.
The question is this ... did Israel commit GENOCIDE against the Palestinians? This question can be answered by way of defining what is GENOCIDE. GENOCIDE is defined as the deliberate killing or severe mistreatment of a large number of people from a particular national or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group.
After defining GENOCIDE, another question may crop up; did the Israelis deliberately killed or severely mistreated a large number of Palestinians with the aim of destroying the Palestinian nation? The answer is a BIG NO, it is because the more than 10,000 Palestinians who were killed in the cross-fire in the recent Hamas-Israeli war were not deliberately killed by the Israeli Defense Force because they were notified 24 hours before the strikes to evacuate since the IDF will strike Hamas anytime, yet the notifications of the IDF were not heeded by the Palestinians for the plain and simple reason that Hamas were using them as human shields.
Naturally, the Gazans (Palestinians) who won't leave the war zone would be caught in the crossfire, since most of the tunnels of Hamas are underneath the Gazans' homes, hence, if the IDF bombs the Hamas tunnels, the houses of the Gazan civilians including them would be ruined and/or killed. To sum it up, the Palestinians who were killed in the crossfire have defended Hamas with their bodies so that the same may survive, simply put, they connived with Hamas.
Granting arguendo (for the sake of argument) that Israel is guilty of committing GENOCIDE in the recent HAMAS-ISRAEL WAR, then Palestine/Egypt/Syria/Iraq/Jordan/Lebanon were also guilty of GENOCIDE for trying to deface the Jewish race in the 1947-48 war between the ARABS-PALESTINIANS vs. the JEWS. Remember that it was Palestine which was aided by Jordan, Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, and Egypt which started the war in that forgettable and reprehensible epoch of history.
The Palestinian side would also claim, that the Israeli Defense Force have inhumanely bombed hospitals in Gaza to the chagrin of the people of the western world, however the Israeli Defense Force can produce evidence like results or products of its radars which would prove that it was Hamas misfiring of its rockets which caused the destruction of the said hospitals.
It is very sad to note that Hamas is playing the victim card by saying that the people that they represent are being obliterated by Israel, when Hamas is actually using its people as a stonewall for the same to survive in the recent war. It is very discouraging to see the truth that Israel is being charge of GENOCIDE when it is simply exercising its sovereign right to defend herself, and the saddest thing is this ... the approximately 1,400 Israelis being killed by Hamas in its Israeli invasion were overshadowed by the so-called genocidal acts of Israel when she only exercised her right to self defense and seek justice over the murders that were done by Hamas on its citizens.
