Original Note:
Israel is in war with Hamas, not the Palestinian people. The number of casualties is due to Hamas’s use of civilians as human shields. https://www.fdd.org/analysis/2023/11/01/hamas-officials-admit-its-strategy-is-to-use-palestinian-civilians-as-human-shields/ Genocide has nothing to do with the number of civilian casualties; the key element of the crime is the need to possess relevant “intent.” https://thehill.com/opinion/international/4388533-israel-is-not-committing-genocide-but-hamas-is/amp/
