[Time 12:46]; Genocide- according to Webster’s 1996 Encyclopedic Dictionary (physical book); is the deliberate and systematic killing of an entire group of people. Gaza civilians who are killed by IDF are not the target, they are in the way of the target or “standing in front of target” so to speak. Hamas military is deliberately positioned below civilian residents; thus making the civilians a human shield. I am not negating the sentiment of those who are alarmed by the civilian death counts, but IDF action fails to meet criteria for “genocide”.
