    There UN source simply defines them at war, not genocide. Name a war that did not produce suffering. The UN source does not show that they are intentionally targeting a people, just that they are suffering as they target the elected Hamas government.

      Elected how many years ago? What was the average age in Gaza, again?

      If we want to talk about elected governments, the genocidal Israeli government has much more legitimacy in claiming it represents it’s constituents.

        Literally no one is questioning Israel’s legitimacy in government except Hamas. Nobody here in this thread is anyway.

        You still missed the point though as they are not doing collective punishment. Collateral damage is not collective punishment.
