I'm sorry for your people, but most recognized genocides look very different from every other.

And despite your history you don't seem very knowledgeable of what a genocide is, or willing to listen who actually studied the matter.

Hamas is not the victim of the genocide, but I guess you don't think there's any victim here, given the quotes.

The Israeli government said countless times that having all the hostages back wouldn't end the military operation.

And frankly, if all this abomination would actually succeed in forcing the hands of hamas, it would set a terrible precedent.

Others would have an argument to repeat it everytime someone holds hostage something.

Interesting to note, instead, how the Israeli government could have freed all the hostages for years, had it accepted any of the many offers of hamas.

Or this, a few days earlier:

"We are ready to immediately conclude a prisoner exchange deal that involves releasing all our prisoners held in your prisons in exchange for freeing all captives held by the resistance"

ah, yeah. "give us back all the convicted murderers and we will continue shooting rockets". sounds like a great deal.

also, those offers ain't mutually exclusive.

Yeah, or the minors held without even a charge.

For sure it's preferable to exterminate a few thousand more Palestinian children.

The second "offer" came after the first one was brushed off.

they want not minors that kept for a few months, but their comrades.

second offer is literally their charter.
