Well, no; I'd spoken in the prior deleted thread of 1800s history when Jewish groups began purchasing land from Turkish, Syrian, Jordanian landowners to re-establish Israel. When you're attacked multiple times with every Arab/Muslim entity around you vowing to erase you from the earth and you manage to survive that, you're a fooking idiot to not keep strategic land you've acquired. And those countries are fooking idiots for gambling with land and having any expectation of owning it again.
You seem to indirectly agree on how pointless the term 'genocide' has become. Hamas has clearly stated their intent - no Jews. What you're actually saying is that intent doesn't matter if the group lacks the practical wherewithal to clearing the area. I agree, but that's the problem with a literal, self-serving reading without considering the Armenian and Jewish holocaust origins. Hamas is a valid, governing military target; that is the 'group' Israel is 'genociding' and if anyone but Jews in Israel were doing it, it'd be just another country defending and securing their nation. Why don't the rules apply to a Jew state?
Israel could and probably should have cleared Israel - from river to sea - of Muslims long ago. Instead, they've allowed >2 million to be Israeli citizens and multiply, who apparently like it enough to not emigrate to an Arab country. To appease Westerners such as yourself, they gifted the Arab land (strategically captured from yet another Arab state seeking their destruction) and essentially created a 2nd state. Gaza should be viewed as the 2-state solution trial-run. All the Arabs had to do was simply live there, create a vibrant economy with seaside ports, and not turn it into a military launch pad. Instead, they - and Westerners who've parroted the Islamists - created this state of affairs. Welcome to your handiwork, anyone?
