How many resources would they need to go in with boots on the ground because it looks like they do have enough resources? (Serious question is it a dollar amount a person amount etc) If say Hamas was in an Israeli hospital and Israel didn't have the resources to go in with boots on the ground would you find it acceptable to bomb the Israeli's hospital? If your answer for one is yes and the other no then you don't value Palestinians lives.
There's a gaping chasm
"let terrorists do whatever the fuck they want."
and
"genocide it is, then"
Particularly when the more accurate framing would be
"oh no - the terrorist group we backed over the PLO predictably attacked us as we maintained Palestine as an open air concentration camp, spouting genocidal rhetoric - guess we'll have to kill 'em all".
