MODERATORS
There are quite a few that believe what Israel is doing is genocide, and that what Hamas did was justified by Israel’s actions.
What Israel is doing is genocide. But I haven't seen people saying Hamas was justified in their most heinous acts.
I don’t doubt there are war crimes being committed, but I don’t think I buy that it’s genocide. Genocide requires systemic intent, otherwise isn’t basically everything genocide?
If you haven't seen systemic intent, you either haven't paid attention or your news sources are very biased. That's literally why Israel has been getting so much heat from other countries.
Announcing that over 1 million people have to flee south within 24 hours is already a humanitarian crisis, but then they bombed the evacuation routes, refugee camps, hospitals, indiscriminately leveled entire blocks, killed a record number of journalists, pushed the line farther south, and generally repeated all of the above. Not systematic enough?
There is undoubtedly systemic intent. You don't just accidentally bomb entire neighborhoods and refugee camps and hospitals and homes and schools. You certainly don't accidentally shoot videos of celebrating the destruction of said neighborhoods and then post it on Telegram for everyone to link and share. You don't abduct civilians from another location to use as hostages.
