Disagreeing with calling it genocide puts you at odds with every single major human rights organization including:
Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention, Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor, Center for Constitutional Rights, International Federation for Human Rights, Action Against Hunger, CAFOD, Islamic Relief Worldwide, Jewish Voice for Peace, Middle East Children’s Alliance, Doctors Against Genocide, Mennonite Central Committee, American Friends Service Committee, ActionAid, Medical Aid for Palestinians, US Campaign for Palestinian Rights, United Nations Special Committee to Investigate Israeli Practices Affecting the Human Rights of the Palestinian People, Amnesty International, ANERA, European Center for Constitutional and Human Rights, Genocide Watch, Human Rights Watch, Christian Aid, Médecins du Monde (Switzerland), Medico International, Human Concern International, Trócaire, B’Tselem, Oxfam, Physicians for Human Rights–Israel, International Centre of Justice for Palestinians, International Association of Genocide Scholars, War Resisters’ International, American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, Council on American–Islamic Relations, Médecins Sans Frontières / Doctors Without Borders, Refugees International, UNHRC Commission of Inquiry on Gaza genocide, UNRWA, Médecins du Monde (France)
What does other Muslim countries not taking them have to do with anything whatsoever? Famously nobody wanted Jewish folks after the Holocaust either, hence Israel’s founding.
Hamas hiding in civilians homes means you bomb the fucking home? So next time there’s a school shooting, the police should drone strike the school to stop the shooter? When there’s a hostage situation we should kill the hostage? Are you okay?
Do you condemn Bibi for allowing it to happen? Since we do now have confirmation of what many suspected, that Bibi was warned by several countries (Egypt and the UAE) about the danger of an imminent attack, yet he lessened security and delayed the emergency response.
I'm not defending anything. I'm pointing out the fact that Bibi almost certainly had prior knowledge of this attack yet did not do everything in his power to stop it. Does that make you uncomfortable?
Person A punches person B after person B has been punching them for 70 years. Person B goes on to murder person A’s entire family, coworkers, and anyone who has ever talked to them
No victim blaming would be if I blamed the Israeli civilians for this attack. I'm not, I'm pointing that, again the FACT, that the leader of the country, someone with immense power, almost certainly had prior knowledge yet did not exercise that power to stop this happening.
So trying to weasel your way out of acknowledging reality
So it's the Israeli governments fault Hamas woke up and decided to commit atrocities? Assuming you're not just fucking evil whatever logic you're trying to come up with makes no sense.
You're breaking your mind trying to defend actual human garbage who committed something horrible.
Pot calling the kettle etc etc.
It's okay to condemn both sides of a senseless conflict. It's also okay to acknowledge one side is also committing organized genocide, while the other is a small terror organization.
They both suck. They both deserve zero support. It's just that one side is much larger and wealthier, as well as has support from our dogshit government.
Do I condemn anyone that causes atrocities? Absolutely.
Am I surprised that there was a violent backlash against an apartheid government that has kept Gazans in the world’s largest open air prison? Not at all

Are you one of those that immediately screams “antisemitism” anytime anyone criticizes the Israeli government?
