Original Note:
Missing context - the civilian casualties are the result of Hamas militants operating among civilians. Articles as early as 2014 show Hamas uses “human shields” which under the Geneva convention is a war crime. There is also no evidence of “genocide” as defined by the UN https://www.un.org/en/genocideprevention/genocide.shtml https://www.nytimes.com/2014/07/24/world/middleeast/israel-says-hamas-is-using-civilians-as-shields-in-gaza.html https://www.nytimes.com/2014/07/24/world/middleeast/israel-says-hamas-is-using-civilians-as-shields-in-gaza.html
