Oh ffs, there is no genocide. To keep beating that drum seems motivated by darker urges, and proving the horseshoe theory correct. It seems that "Never again" can't happen soon enough to satisfy some folks.
Israel took rare, extensive steps in Gaza urban fighting: repeated mass evacuation orders, millions of warning calls/texts/leaflets, "roof knocking," and precision munitions to target Hamas assets.
Hamas systematically used human shields by placing tunnels, command posts, and weapons under homes, hospitals, and schools while blocking civilian flight.
This context—extreme density plus an enemy maximizing its own civilian exposure for propaganda—differs from typical urban battles.
Expert comparisons to Mosul vs ISIS often note Israel's mitigation measures exceeded those in prior fights, with some analyses showing lower combatant-to-civilian ratios than historical norms for such conditions.
Tragic deaths occurred, but the record shows deliberate efforts to distinguish targets, not extermination.
