No. It wasn't. It was a extremely bad assault that hit civilians. Or, whatever words you want me to use to describe a horrible thing that was wrong to do. But words have meaning. And describing all bad things generically as genocide cheapens that word.

Now, before you feel self righteous and start issuing the claim of antisemitism you so transparently want to claim, I want you to think about something. Actually think about it, too, before answering.

Can Hamas commit genocide against Israel, and if so, how? I'm obviously not asking about it they are capable of the desire. I'm specifically asking if it could happen, how would it be done? Do you think Hamas, a military force of some 25,000 fighters before the war, with no air force, and nothing other than light weapons and rudimentary rockets could commit genocide against a first world nation? How would they achieve that process with those resources?

I've actually answered your questions in good faith. Are you actually capable of the same?

5 hours later... Nope. SpaceCowboy probably just rolled their eyes and continued jerking off to 15,000 dead children thinking it's a smaller number than 12.
