      If Israel is trying to target Hamas, why by their own admission have the majority of the bombs and artillery systems fired been systems that lack the accuracy necessary to target a specific vehicle or even building?

      Why does the IDF refuse to send forces into these soposed tunnel networks in order to actually capture Hamas commanders for the intelligence necessary to actually target them?

      Why are the refugees constantly being pushed closer and closer to the Egyptian border when that is the ONLY part of Gaza that has ever needed to be secured in order to stop the flow of all Iranian weapons into Gaza?

      Why shut off power and water, actions which can only work to strengthen Hamas’s support among the civilian population?

      Why limit IDF support and protection to humanitarian aid convoys to such an extreme that even the US has had to resort to air power because it can’t get through Israeli territory?

      The definition of genocide does not and has never required that a force try and kill every last person of the targeted population, only that they try and expel or erase them from the population.

      For fucks sake, we’re putting a requirement on how many people have to die for something to be considered bad? Using your logic I should ban you permanently from our instance, because a shorter term ban means that I’m doing ‘an absolutely shit job of it’. Luckily for you, I don’t prescribe to your world view and wish to give you a chance to self reflect on the fact that the intent to kill a large number of people is, in itself, bad. Whether you’re able to execute on murdering a large number of folks doesn’t change the evil of the intent.
