President Joe Biden said Tuesday Israel’s prime minister needs to change his hardline government and support for the country’s military campaign is waning amid heavy bombardment of Gaza. … “This is the most conservative government in Israel’s history,” Biden said, adding that the Israeli government “doesn’t want a two-state solution.”

It’s mind-blowing how thoroughly Netanyahu has bungled this. They had damn near the entire world in full support after Hamas’ horrific attack on Israeli civilians, and they’ve managed to lose it.

          How many Palestinian civilians have been killed?

          How many bombs have been intentionally dropped on civilians?

              it’s probably more than 20k. What does it prove though?

              See above definition on genocide. If thousands of dead Palestinian civilians (~50% of whom are children) isn’t enough to be labeled as genocide then the definition you are using is a bad one.

              Judging which bomb is purposefully thrown on civilians is impossible.

              Are you saying that when Israel bombed the Jabalia refugee camp, they were not intentionally killing civilians?

                  Most of those deaths happen due to the lack shelters and lack of places where people can hide.

                  …and the bombs landing on their heads.

                  If Israel wanted to genocide Palestinians, they would have done it in a week.

                  Not all genocides are done with equal fervor.

                  Also, they would not have to be dead if Hamas didn’t start this.

                  This was started in 1948 when Palestinians were forced from their homes. Playing a game of “who started it” doesn’t justify anything.

                  it’s more of an approach where they no longer try as much to limit civilian causalities as much as possible.

                  Yeah… almost like they are totally OK with killing civilians (genocide).
