No I'm literally and specifically not condoning Israeli actions. I'm not clear on what the current vernacular meaning of 'genocide' is right now here, but apparently what Israel is doing has to be called genocide by definition or else my comment gets deleted. So it's certainly genocide. But I don't think they are trying to kill or remove all Palestinians from Gaza despite what some politicians say. When I say Israel has a right to defence, I mean they have to be able to try and stop rocket attacks or border incursions by Hamas or anyone else. Ideally they'd find some peaceful solution, but Hamas (and other groups) have made it clear that they will never allow peace as long as Israel exists. So what's Israel to do? Clearly killing civilians isn't the right answer. But peace processes in the past have also failed and freedoms in Gaza led to the Oct attacks. So what is the path forward?
