    More like the Gazan citizens and current leadership Hamas are literally calling for the genocide of Israel so I’m not so concerned about this level of violence that Israel is responding with.

    But also the military alliance, technology, and intelligence they offer is unrivaled for the region.

    So there’s lots of reasons to ally with Israel


    What is it about Gaza that has you fascinated so much to rush to their defense?

      And Israel is currently engaged in a genocide against the Palestinian people, as evidenced by what is happening and Israeli officials saying that’s their goal (Netanyahu, Gvir, Smotrich). So you’re more worried about an alleged want for genocide than the actual genocide currently happening.

        Please, give me the quote from the Israelis that proves that they’re aiming for a genocide.

        As far as I’ve seen, they’ve only stated to “take over the security of Gaza”, which I’ve interpreted as simply conquest. The destruction of Hamas is certainly not considered a genocide any more than say, the destruction of the Nazis were as a political party (and was a wargoal of WW2).
