Every other Zionist makes it a point to argue that the Palestinians were never a “people” because it was never an independent nation-state, but the only reason you’d split hairs about that in such an arbitrary way (point out where in the UN Convention on Genocide it says "it’s not genocide if they never had a modern nation-state of their own? Y’all) is to muddy the waters as to whether or not clearing out Palestine amounts to genocide. Blows me away people can look at this conflict and not conclude that Israel is committing genocide.
While we’re here, Bibi uses Hamas to weaken the Palestinian Authority and make independent statehood impossible. They don’t dislike Hamas. Hamas makes it very easy for Bibi to accomplish his party’s goals in Gaza, which include ethnically cleansing it. Why would they ever want to actually get rid of Hamas until Gaza’s been completely destroyed?
