Why are hospitals in Gaza under Israel’s crosshairs? Why? Is it truly that difficult to step back and think for a moment about why Israel would want to erase the current populace entirely?
Amazing, what a mystery
Wow.
Are you literally saying it’s not a genocide because the population is growing faster than the IDF is killing?
I don’t know what happened to your brain, nor your heart, but I am sad whatever happened to you, happened.
Do you believe the IDF is incompetent at doing a genocide then?
That's a false dichotomy. They are killing them as fast as they think the international community will tolerate. They won't kill them fast enough to provoke any major entity into opposing them, they will just stay firmly in the "everyone will wag their fingers at us and argue about whether it's right" zone, which is where they sit currently.
And what will make you believe genocide isn't the end goal? The refugees leaving through Egypt don't?
How could they? Reiterating my prior point:
So the fact that this leaves open the possibility that some people get to flee their homes in terror, knowing that their friends and loved ones who refuse to be chased out of their homes by Israel are likely to be killed by the IDF, is one of the things that you feel might convince me that Israel doesn't have genocidal intent?
Clearly nothing that you're going to accept.
I didn't say no conditions anyone would accept, I said no conditions you are going to accept. You wouldn't be carrying water to this level if you would.
But let's hear them, why "hide" it?
LOL ok you sure got me there. Here's your chance to prove me wrong.
Stop now. Say "hey, we got our pound of flesh (and about 2000 more pounds too), let's stop and figure out a path forward."
And since Kbin doesn't seem to want to let me upload inline images today:

So... You mean negotiate with Hamas?
Well that would be step 2. Step one would be stop murdering people for a bit.
I did tell you that you wouldn't accept it.
This conversation is concluded, unless you are about to give me a very surprising response.
No it's cool, I just wanted to understand your POV, we don't have to agree :)
Yes.
Nothing is more corrosive to an armies fighting capabilities then an occupation.
