President Joe Biden said Tuesday Israel’s prime minister needs to change his hardline government and support for the country’s military campaign is waning amid heavy bombardment of Gaza. … “This is the most conservative government in Israel’s history,” Biden said, adding that the Israeli government “doesn’t want a two-state solution.”

It’s mind-blowing how thoroughly Netanyahu has bungled this. They had damn near the entire world in full support after Hamas’ horrific attack on Israeli civilians, and they’ve managed to lose it.

    It’s impossible not to kill civilians in such a conflict when the area you are fighting in is a densely populated city

    But it is possible to not drop bombs on areas you KNOW civilians are at.

    Of course genocide is not defined by numbers. However, all genocides should have some traits in common.

    This is also not a part of the definition of genocide.

        Civilians are pretty much everywhere alongside Hamas members who are usually between them.

        Yeah, so maybe they should stop dropping bombs.

        Israeli actions wouldn’t be similar to any of them.

        Not only is this not true, but even if it were, as I’ve already pointed out it doesn’t need to be similar. A genocide can be totally unique yet still fall under the definition of genocide.
