Perhaps there might be genocides within wars but I'm not sure that that's the case here.

Israel has not claimed any desire to eliminate Palestinians. Only Hamas. Not a whole race. Specific people who, not incidentally, might've committed a Couple or Three War Crimes on Oct 7.

There was a Ceasefire on Oct 6. Hamas chose to end it the next day. You say it was justified retaliation. Israel thinks hunting down every last member of Hamas is justified retaliation for raping Saftas and cooking, well, innocent children, Pamela. I'm not sure the numbers matter once you've crossed those lines.

This isn't something new in this region. :

“When peace comes we will perhaps in time be able to forgive the Arabs for killing our sons, but it will be harder for us to forgive them for having forced us to kill their sons. Peace will come when the Arabs will love their children more than they hate us.”
