Isreal is indiscriminately bombing civilian/Palestinian population centers and diving people out of their homes.*

What Isreal is doing absolutely falls under the category of genocide.

Kill civilians is indefensible.

A 48 hour WW2 era artillery barrages would flatten the Gaza Strip. Believing that Israel is "indiscriminately bombing" the strip requires you to believe that they're the most incompetent military force to have ever walked the planet.

When I say "indiscriminate" I mean "disregard for civilian casualties" not "random bombings".

They clearly have a regard for civilian casualties. That's why they haven't hit some mosques, schools and other buildings that are known to be seats of Hamas' power.

They clearly have a regard for civilian casualties.

People who bomb civilian areas do not care about civilians casualties.

Areas with mixed military and civilian targets are the problem.

Isreal is indiscriminately bombing civilian population centers and diving out people based on ethnicity.

These two things are mutually exclusive

You're "um ackshually"ing genocide. Reconsider your life.

They've been bombing civilian centers that they know are predominantly of Palestinian ethnicity.

They've been evicting people from their homes based on ethnicity. The law gives Isrealis preferences in land disputes.

And now they're telling everyone in Gaza to abandon their homes.

These are three different actions.

WhyI see your confusion now.

They're doing the latter because of the former, not as an organized and permanent method of displacement.

Hamas attempts to pen people in with threats of violence (and acts of violence) in an attempt to maximize civilian casualties as well.
