You simply are not a serious person, just a believer in conspiracy theories. the idea that the IDF deliberately killed its own citizens is utterly grotesque and offensive.

If you think gay people are safe in either the West Bank or Gaza, then you really do need your head examined and I feel truly sorry for you.

You are so right on this!

I would push back a touch on the "any war crime" part. War crimes are bad. I've been through a few classes on when you can shoot children in war, and it isn't super pleasant.

Way back in my student years I did a presentation about how we should classify genocide like we do murder: manslaughter, first degree, second degree, etc. I think that would be an overall better system because the word "genocide" has such as weight to it that it becomes a detriment to addressing the problem.

You are forgetting at least two things.

Israel cut of the water supply and electricity to the civilian population of Gaza, which is a war crime.

The Israel president Herzog told that every Palestinian citizen, even children, was responsible for the actions of Hamas and should pay the price (which is??).

The casualty numbers are lopsided because the IDF was telling citizens to move to the South of Gaza and then started to bomb the South of Gaza.

One Israeli minister even said he wanted all Palestinians out of Gaza, which indicates ethnic cleansing.

It not surprising that the International Court of Justice in The Hague is hearing the complaints made by South Africa, where South Africa accuses the state of Israel of genocidal acts.

War crimes are being committed by the IDF, in response to the terrible war crimes Hamas has committed on October 7, by killing almost 1,200 Israeli citizens. But I am also stating that the IDF is willfully targeting the civilian population of Gaza, that the Israeli government wants to eradicate the Palestinian (civil) population from Gaza (by the words of president Herzog and the Israeli defense minister), which constitutes at least the intent to commit genocide.
