'No Civilians. Everyone's a Terrorist': IDF Soldiers Expose Arbitrary Killings and Rampant Lawlessness in Gaza's Netzari

19. You believe Hamas committed genocide on Oct 7th?

In the field of Genocide Studies, Genocide is generally committed by state actors against a weaker enemy. Usually an expansionist, well-armed regional powerhouse. Like Israel, for instance. Not by an occupied, oppressed and blockaded people who burst out of their cage to commit violence and terror against their oppressors and take hostages for the purpose of trading them for prisoners. Which btw is not at all consistent with genocidal intent.

I agree with the ICC that Hamas committed the crime of extermination on Oct 7th. Clearly crimes against humanity and other war crimes.

I do believe that Israel's crimes are just as, if not even more horrific and include the crime of genocide. That it has been allowed to continue shocks me to my core.

Imagine October 7th still going on a year later. But, unlike Gaza, that would never be allowed to happen, and that is a very telling difference.

As for Russia and its complicity, Western powers probably don't want to go there and set that precedent. It's not as if our hands are clean, either.
