You mean the israelis are gonna be in some trouble
They dgaf, never have and probably never will. On this one, they shouldn't either. Fuck Hamas, they need to go. That's how Palestinians will get the freedom and peace they deserve. Simping for Iran ain't a winning formula.
Bro, not only is there no genocide, their population is increasing during this war. They've got one of the highest birth rates in the world!
"No genocide" because there are not enough dead for you yet or because of some artificial definitions in use by enitities such as the UN?
EDIT: No mass murder can be classified as genocide until the US gives the green light, am I right?
No genocide by any definition other than the ones drummed up by the white Western saviour brigade.
Merriam-Webster:
How are the Palestinian communities not being deliberately and systematically destroyed? There is no "oopsie doopsie I just blew up and later colonized your homes" caveat. Also, had it not been for the US blocking resolutions, the world community, including the global south, would have denounced Israel long ago through the UN, opening for possible peace keeping troop deployment.
You realize there's Palestinians outside of Gaza right?
Unless you're going to claim being a terrorist is an inherent part of Palestinian culture, there's no deliberate intent to destroy the culture of the people in the strip. The government? Well, they're the ones stating they're not responsible for the people, not to mention the literally millions of Arabs living just fine in Israel itself not under a terrorist regime.
The UN has denounced Israel dozens of times, they've got Iran on the human rights commission and the Saudis on the women's Rights one, establishing the credibility of that body haha. You realize Israel has more womens rights violations taken up at the UN than Iran or Saudi? The only place women have equal rights to men in the region....Israel rightfully doesn't gaf about what they think, the bias is beyond obvious.
This is a war. War is ugly. Unless you can name another 'genocide' that ends when the hostages are released, you don't really have much of a case here. I suppose that's why the ICJ has declined to intervene twice now. Hamas can end this, they're choosing not to, as their leaders are openly saying, dead civilians works for them and against Israel in the pr battle.
Even if Hamas is gone (this won't happen because their leadership is in Qatar), Israel will just fund another fundie group so they can continue the genocide.

Qell see how long that lasts, even Qatar sees Hamas as being a problem with this negotiation.
The problem is, I don't think either side wants to negotiate. An external enemy is so useful to those in power.
You might be right but I feel like the Israelis have some motivation with their people being held and the government teetering on the brink.
