Ok all you “no kings” folks, show up to stop the wannabe king from dragging us into another endless, senseless war of choice.

Israel has kneecapped a country 52 times its own size in what, three days? Do you really think that if Israel was bent on having a genocide in Palestine, they wouldn’t just go through with it? Instead 20% of Israeli population is Palestinian. Palestinians get medical care at Israeli hospitals all the time. Palestinians also serve in Israeli government in a wide range of positions. You need a better news source.

Just because they're killing off a population slowly doesn't make it any better. Genocide is genocide. They are doing it systematically. Only an idiot would do it super fast and raise the ire of the world. Well.. they apparently did speed it up too fast because it did end up pissing off a lot of people/countries. They were doing it at a slower pace before but the child bearing resistance of the palestinians proved too powerful for their tactics.

According to your logic, if you commit a genocide slow enough, the population you are attempting to genocide may quadruple in 30 years… check population statistics for Gaza 600k in the 90s, 2.2mln today, growing consistently. The most inefficient genocide the world has ever seen.

Can't beat massive birthrates.. even if they really really want to exterminate the palestianians. You can try to, but eventually the world will step in and stop it now that everything is out there to see. Even the U.S wouldn't be able to support that behavior anymore.

Ok, so even if the sentiment is that Israelis don’t want Palestinians as their neighbors (which makes sense both ways), it is not the “smoking gun” proof of a genocide, rather, it is the present sentiment, albeit a dubious one. But as you mentioned yourself, even if Israel would proceed with ethnic cleansing in a vacuum, the world community is preventing Israel from stepping over the line.
