Nazi era Germans could at least plead ignorance of genocide. In this day and age, with access to massive amounts of information, there’s no excuse. They’ve made a deliberate decision that they’re ok with ethnic cleansing.
“What we are doing in Gaza now is a war of devastation: indiscriminate, limitless, cruel and criminal killing of civilians,” Ehud Olmert, a former Prime Minister, wrote in Haaretz.

Rather, it’s the result of government policy—knowingly, evilly, maliciously, irresponsibly dictated.”
