Genocide? This is in fact what genocide looks like:

103. The unprecedented horror

and evil of the Holocaust, and the pure evil of October 7, does NOT negate the horror of what innocent Palestinians, especially women and children, have and are enduring. Many Palestinians in this country have lost HUNDREDS of family members, whole entire families simply wiped out. And they feel like no one gives a shit, and they're right. They seem to care even less at the horrendous humanitarian crisis indiscriminately unfolding.

This is the most extreme right-wing Israeli government ever, and their party platform has long-included "cleanse the vermin", meaning Palestinians. Gee, I wonder just where have we heard that kind of language before?

One massacre does not justify another! I can be horrified at both October 7 and the too-often-indiscrimiminate killings in response. It's not either-or, one does not exclude the other. No, it doesn't fit the legal definition of genocide. But that doesn't mean that Palestinian lives don't matter as much as Israeli lives. Too many here seem to think they don't matter at all.
