These people are genocide deniers.
No, just realists. Saying a word over and over again doesn't make it true. As someone said earlier, if Hamas released the hostages and turned over their leaders responsible for Oct. 7, the war would be over tomorrow. And they are not killing indiscriminately. Shit happens in war and every misstep by Israel has been magnified and blown up by the media, usually just parroting Hamas's statements.
Look at the casualties; 30,000. Seems like a lot. Until you remember that there are over 2 million Palestinians living in an extremely dense populated area. And this is after 8 months of war. Compare that to practically any other instance of urban warfare and you'll realize that's fucking surgical for how low it is. If it were a genocide, I promise those numbers would be DRASTICALLY higher.
Hamas agreed to a ceasefire that would have released the remaining hostages. Israel turned it down.
You seem so disappointed that the numbers aren't higher.
