    Yes, intent matters. Hamas, the internationally recognised terrorist organisation, committed terrorist act atrocities against Israelis and started this war. Israel rightfully will not stop until Hamas are not only removed from power in Gaza, but completely eliminated. That’s the “good faith” that Israel are acting in. If they just wanted to commit genocide they would have razed the whole place long ago.

    That’s really all that needs to be pointed out - if they wanted to kill them all, they would have long ago. They have the means and opportunity to do so. They haven’t and they aren’t. Why do you think they’d draw it out while facing all this backlash? They’d just wipe them from the face of the earth and go “yeh we did it, what are you gonna do about it?”.

      Again zero factual arguments to support your/their claims. You have just chosen to blindly believe, it seems.

        You have zero factual arguments to support your claim lol.

        Israel’s leaders are on record many, many times saying that the end game is Hamas to be eliminated. You choose not to believe them because you want there to be a genocide happening so you can be outraged about it.

        Again - if a genocide was on the menu, this war would have been over months ago because Gaza would be a crater and everyone in there would be dead. Israel clearly don’t care about people saying they’re committing a genocide when they’re not, so if they did want to they’d just do it.

          Bro read my comments, the factual evidence is there right in front of you. If you refuse to click the links I provide and read my arguments, that’s on you.

          And yes, I do not trust Israeli leaders words, I only trust their actions. You cannot convince me to trust their words by saying that I should. Factual evidence (social media bots, fake hamas websites, other lies, see: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Misinformation_in_the_Gaza_war, etc) strongly support the claim that Israel utilities lies and deception frequently, and I thus do not consider them trustworthy.

          Facts don’t care about your feelings or blind beliefs.

          That Israel has the firepower to completely obliterate Gaza in two days does not mean that anything less than that is fine.

            Facts don’t care about your feelings or blind beliefs.

            The irony of you saying this is hilarious.

            Bro read my comments, the factual evidence is there right in front of you.

            You aren’t saying facts, you’re saying opinions - most of which are “i think x, y, z” and “i don’t believe x when they say y”.

            That Israel has the firepower to completely obliterate Gaza in two days does not mean that anything less than that is fine.

            You missed the point. If Israel want to commit genocide against Palestinians, and don’t care about the world accusing them of genocide, they would just do it. Why would they draw it out for months/years? If they’re going to have everyone sanctioning them and shouting “Genocide!” at them, they’d just get it over and done with and move on. Drawing it out over months/years would just make it worse for them. It makes no sense.

            You want it to be a genocide. You’re looking for articles that support your view. You’re looking for “facts” that support your view. You’re not looking at it with an impartial eye and what is actually happening, you’re looking at it with a “they’re committing genocide so everything they do is with an end goal of genocide” lens.
