thus we wait for the courts to figure out what exactly is happening

Which will, somehow, just be so "conveniently" after all the Palestinians are dead and Gaza and the West Bank no longer exist.

It's a war and war is ugly. That's why there are very specific guidelines in regards to genocide and the breaking of international law, otherwise you could claim any war that displaces a group of people is genocide when it could simply by the affects of the war.

This is not a war. It's a genocide.

Wars don't start with collectively punishing entire ethnic groups of people by shutting off water and electricity to them, followed up with suggestions to flood the infrastructure of Gaza with seawater and poisoning the scarce water supply of Gaza. Wars don't start, or carry on, with cease fires being broken because your snipers opened fire on children. Wars don't involve the use of drones with recordings of screaming women and children to lure civilians in refugee camps out into arcs of machine gun fire. Wars don't involve forcing doctors to evacuate hospitals to leave premature babies in incubators to starve to death and then razing said hospitals. And the persistent/constant non-precision bombs being dropped on areas where hostages may be held without regards to hostage safety and recovery.

None of this is consistent with proper wartime operations in accordance with the Geneva Convention. All of it is consistent with Geneva guidelines about genocide, though.

Everything Israel has done has been in revenge for Oct 7, and it sure has not been a war or a justified response to terrorism. It hasn't been an attempt to get back the hostages, either. It's been a campaign of genocide.

I'll wait and see what actually is decided before blindly making up my mind based on emotion.

I can find citations for every item in the list above. This isn't making my mind up on emotion. This is looking at the facts, understanding what genocide looks like, and calling a duck a duck.

You're telling us, with this statement, that you're willing to wait until the Palestinians are exterminated to the last man and Israel fulfills Netanyahu's promise of "river to the sea" with the abolition of any Palestinian territory before you're willing to call it a genocide.

At that point, you've just put your fingers in your ears to deny reality. To deny genocide.

You're worse than Eagles was. He was belligerent, but at least he owned up (eventually) to what Israel was doing.
