A genocidal state.
Calling this genocide is like crying wolf, it merely provides cover for actual genocides by diluting the term until it's meaningless. Israel could certainly suffer fewer casualties if they were to fire bomb or nuke Gaza, but they won't because they're not fucking genocidal.
People who study genocides call it a genocide. Please stop being retarded.
Yeah and some scientists deny that climate change is a thing, that doesn't mean all points of view are equally valid. What you are pretending is a mainstream point of view is actually quite contentious:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestinian_genocide_accusation#Discourse
Overwhelmingly scientists agree climate change is a thing. Overwhelmingly genocide experts agree the Israel-Palestine conflict is a genocide.
I am begging you to stop being retarded.
Your claim: "Overwhelmingly genocide experts agree the Israel-Palestine conflict is a genocide."
Your Evidence: A quote by one historian. Not even a link, mind you, a screenshot. It was from the same source I provided, so if it was a normal link that same article would show other experts who disagree with him below his quote.
Do I need to explain to you why you are being intellectually dishonest here?
Here's yet another source that shows there isn't a consensus among experts:

A screenshot to the wikipedia article you linked me. You did read it, didn't you? You didn't just link something and hoped to god it supported your claim, did you? Boy howdy that'd be embarrassing.
Uh oh, a second person who agrees it's genocidal.
Also, your link is over a month old. Let's find something more up to date.
https://www.cnn.com/2023/12/29/middleeast/south-africa-icj-israel-genocide-intl/index.html
Oops, looks like the South African government agrees too.
Two whole people! Wow I guess that means that the entirety of experts must be <4. Also, that second person says they are "moving towards a 'genocidal campaign.'" Not that they have committed one.
And South Africa, too! lol. I bet you can find some Muslim states who agree as well.
I'm done here, you're clearly not willing to discuss this in good faith.
My brother in Christ I am not going to provide to you a library of sources for you to ignore them and throw me some outdated dogshit from Time while you ignore your own Wikipedia link. You got to your position by ignoring facts so I'm not going to use facts to convince you out of it. The mere fact that they've dropped more bombs in the last month than the United States did in the 20 years in the Middle East should be illuminating. The fact there have been more civilian deaths in the last month than the entire Ukrainian-Russia war should be an easy win to convince you but you just don't give a shit Lol.
You've made up your mind so why the fuck would I sit here and procure for you food you won't eat?
Holy shit you are so dumb. I think you need to go get an education somewhere out of dipshit land. I bet you’d enjoy being an IDF soldier gunning down babies to be called a hero.
LMAOOO thank you for leaving the conversation because your comments are both ill-informed and have sources that directly contradict you 😂 I've never seen someone have such a bad argument before
This is from the Times article you provided
That article is like LITERALLY full of people saying it's a genocide, I have no idea why you posted it. It's not in support of Israel at all. Hilarious

Reading the wiki, I like how a substantial portion of the discourse is about whether it's ethnic cleansing or genocide. You do see that both options paint an atrocious picture, right? No no don't worry guys it's just an ethnic cleansing, not a genocide, jeez, we have standards.
And then under that it describes how Israel was convicted of genocide and how they currently have two ongoing cases in which they're accused of genocide. Not at all concerning. Nothing to see here nope nope.
It IS a Genocide.
