1. To anyone still denying it's a Genocide...

Consider that Israel has been warned repeatedly, over nearly two years, that the lack of sanitation, proper nutrition, shelter and medical care including infectious and bacterial disease control would lead to exactly this scenario. Israel knew and not only did nothing to mitigate but continually and knowingly created even worse conditions.

This part of the genocide definition certainly fits:

"Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part".

Seems to me there is no end to the cruelty genocide deniers and Netanyahu et al are willing to see inflicted for the sake of Israel's "security". No end to Palestinian suffering that is not deemed "worth it".

It's mind-blowingly savage. This is "defending Western civilization"? Ugh.
