I mostly agree with you, especially point (1), but what are you talking about with “Hamas did genocide on Isreal last year”? They did a terror attack for sure, but that’s not genocide. Wiping out significant percentage of a population because of their ethnicity or culture is genocide (see what Isreal is doing in Gaza) and it takes months to years.
Assuming it’s a difference in scale argument, but it’s hard to take the power dynamics out of the equation when rating “genocide”.
Only one faction currently has the means to actually perform an extermination. I don’t know if the “genocide of Israelis” sotuation would occur if the power dynamics were flipped, but that’s getting to hypotheticals and ignoring other circumstances of their unlawful occupation of Palestinian lands.
Fact that they sucked ass at it doesn’t change how that is 1,000,000% was what they intended to do.
Just because Israel has the momentum doesn’t mean we should forget that Hamas, and I mean Hamas specifically not Palestine, because Palestinians actually despise Hamas and only have them in charge because they won an election over 20 years ago, wouldn’t absolutely be doing exactly the same shit if the ball was in their court.
The victims are the civilians at the mercy of ideological men who will never see even a scrap of shrapnel if the war goes the way they envision it.
