They can't just commit blatant genocide or ethnic cleansing in front of the world. They have to do it more inconspicuously. I disagree. Again, if Israel wanted to commit genocide, they wouldn't have thousands of Hamas POW's that they are keeping alive and trading for a few live individuals and a handful of dead bodies. One of the easiest ways to commit genocide is institute a "take no prisoners" order.
They block aid. No country at war is going to allow aid to get to the enemy. That's what was happening. Hamas was taking all of the so-called aid. At first, Israel allowed this, until it figured out that Hamas was taking it all. Also, it was being used to smuggle money and weapons. UNRAW got caught red handed on a grand scale.
They have exiled the civilians from Gaza. No, they didn't. They couldn't. If they did, where did they go? Egypt? No, Egypt wouldn't take them and Israel sealed the border between Gaza and Israel (as well did Egypt). Israel? No, Israel wasn't about to allow that. So, if they exiled civilians, where did they go? They all stayed in Gaza. I've got to ask, on this particular "fact" of yours, where are you getting this information? Because, there is absolutely nowhere for Israel to "exile" Gazans to.
They made it clear to the neighboring nations that they will be receiving an influx of Palestinian civilians. No, they didn't. There is only one neighboring nation, Egypt, and Egypt won't accept any Palestinians. Further, Israel and Egypt sealed the border between Gaza and Egypt.
Not Hamas, but civilians. Again, no. But, even assuming that Palestinian civilians went to Egypt, the only reason they were forced to flee their homes was because their homes were built on top of military installations. Their homes were housing weapons. Their homes were not homes, but were military buildings. Fair game for destruction in a war.
They didn't just push Hamas out of the way, they displaced all of the civilians. Now, I will agree that Israel displaced civilians. But, all within Gaza. Not into other countries. Again, the reason they did this was because all of these civilians were living on top of a huge, interconnected military fortress. The alternative would have been to simply annihilate and eradicate the civilians who were living on top of a huge underground military base. You know me, I have said before that I believe that eradicating human-shields would have been completely justified.
There is nothing left in Gaza. There is more there than should be. By now, it should be a peaceful, quiet, unpopulated piece of land ready for redevelopment by Israel.
Most of the buildings are leveled and the ones that are standing are about to fall over. That is called strategic ethnic cleansing. Call it what you want. I call it "a job unfinished".
They would have committed all out genocide if the world wasn't watching. They should have committed an all out genocide with the world watching and added a "F-YOU" on top.
