- So genocide is a very specific term.
You and I can go back and forth on the concepts of assymetrical warfare, responses of Hamas to colonialization, power dynamics, etc. But whatever violence Hamas commited and whether or not it was justified cannot be considered genocide against the Israelis.
Even if we set aside the tit for tats and any lead up to the current situation, Israel has a nominal right to respond to violence, even in kind.
But.
Not at this extreme and not against its current and continuous targets.
There is a concept of proportional response and justified response, and Israel has gone well beyond that. It is genocide now. And genocide is never justified.
