"Israel has committed genocide in Gaza, UN commission of inquiry says"[1]. I'm going to assume that a man who was president of the international tribunal on Rwanda's genocide has more experience in what defines genocide that you do. It's worth reading if you wish to learn and are open to changing your mind.

>> Interesting to note is how the "victims" of this genocide can end it immediately by simply returning the hostages but refuse to.

How it 'can end' doesn't determine whether or not it is genocide.

It's a war and just because you don't like that doesn't make it a genocide. Your appeal to authority is irrelevant because we're suspicious of the motivation of this commitee and therefore the veracity of their findings.

I find it amazing that you can dismiss one of the primary reasons for the continued state of war as irrelevant.

Hamas will rightly hold this up as a major tactical and strategic victory. It will do nothing at all to help palestinians except the fat cats in the plo and qatar.
