The argument that Gaza would already be wiped out if Israel was really trying to kill civilians or commit a genocide is wrong. With the same logic, Russia isn't really trying to invade Ukraine, since they could just nuke the country and it'd be “over”.

The point is that Israel is killing as many civilians with as much plausible deniability as possible, in order to not warrant a foreign intervention.

@ErikUden Erik, it’s a nice thought, but they aren’t trying to hold off foreign intervention. The entire world from Egypt to the US has already shown they have no intention of intervening.

No one is coming to rescue the Gazan refugees.

The Saudi’s, Egypt, Qatar, Jordan and the UAE have all decided turning Gaza into a resort palace, with access to the gas that lies beneath is much more important than the people.

@ErikUden There was no adequate reaction to the killing of so much palestinian now Israel isn't even trying to hide it or to find reasons for killing them. Despite some form of humanitarian camouflage, there's an absolute sense of total impunity.

Alsonso Gurmendi once said: "if your point is, that's Israel isn't committing genocide because they only killed X people, than you thought about better ways to kill Palestinians"

@ErikUden "Plausible" deniability? It hasn't been plausible since, like forever

@toybox I should've said: “plausible deniability in the eyes of a devil's advocate islamophobic western leader”

The fact that Israel's army is deliberately causing more civilian deaths than necessary through their choice of weapons has been confirmed by the United Nations over a year ago.
