Do you think what's going on in Gaza should be described as a genocide?

[Ad_Quid_Orator]

A common argument against the claim that Israel is committing genocide is that they keep alerting civilians in Gaza when they're going to conduct military operations so they can move to designated safe zones. But the IDF keeps redesignating "safe zones" to force the Palestinians to go from one place to another so they have to go on gruelling marches from one zone to the next under gruelling conditions. A classic method to commit genocide is to use "death marches" or march the target population around until enough of them die. Something similar was done in the the Cherokee Trail of Tears and the Armenian Genocide.

Yes it is Genocide

It's not genocide but I think the war is a criminal one

The war is justified but the IDF is being way to brutal

The war is justified and the IDF is acting in accordance with international law

No it's not genocide because Israel and the IDF didn't start this attack. They were peacefully minding their own business when Hamas invaded them. Hamas, Iran and any other middle east county should prolly do their homework on who their attacking and their defense capabilities before engaging in a conflict with a far superior military force at the very least make sure who they are attacking isn't an ally to the United States and is heavily backed by them. You don't like a bee hive and then bitch your being stung to death by bees. As for why they are changing safe zones because Israels enemies are fucking cowards who hide amongst the civilian population and Israel has morals and doesn't just obliterated civilians like Hamas does. You got to realize one thing. The nation of Israel has been around since the beginning of recorded human history and have always been the target of numerous empires because Israel is God's choosen people and the land was given to them when they completely destroyed and looted Egypt for enslaving them 430 years. Unfortunently God told Israel obey my commandments and all will go well with you which Israel failed to do time and time again until eventually in 70 AD the temple was destroyed and the remnants of the 12 tribes of Israel were scattered to the nations. Only to be given their land back after nearly 2000 years in 1948. Now again ask yourself this. Look and all the empires that have come against Israel in the past Egypt, Philistine, Babylon, Persia, Greeks, Romans , Nazi Germany and even modern day Iran, Where are all those Empires now? Gone and lost to History yet Israel still remains. Do you think that is a coincidence or are they truly God's choosen people? Don't get me wrong when I say choose , I don't mean they are bettér then everybody else they're chosen because God shows them to bring about the lineage of the Messiah or Jesus Christ through their blood and DNA to the world. All of human history has been fighting over that little piece of land in the middle of the cradle of life. And here's the funny part god granted them the land saying the descendants of Abraham Isaac and Jacob are given the promised Land however Abraham took matters into his own hand and bore a son with his wife's maid servant and had the boy named Ishmael who was also the father of the Muslim race another both saying Abraham's our father and fighting over in this land and they're both right however the promised child came through the wife not the maid servant. Goes to show you when people try to do things on their own instead of following God what happens. But only an idiot thinks Israel is committing genocide when they're doing nothing but protecting their land given to them in 1948 for the atrocities they endured during the Holocaust Israel has put up with more bullshit from more Nations and more people than anybody on the face of this Earth they've seen more combat I have more experienced than any other armed Force with active duty what do you think's going to happen when you go against Israel you're not just going against Israel going against God that's clear as day by the fact that Israel still exists and all those other empires don't

Just so we're clear, criticism of Israeli policies is NOT antisemitism.
