So these are your grounds for saying that it isn’t a genocide?

• Hamas uses human shields.
• news reports from a war zone cannot be independently verified
• the IDF is credible; Hamas is not
• it is ok to kill civilians provided they were warned to move, because this is “all international law requires” before launching a strike.
• the rate of new deaths is decreasing
• 30,000 (mainly innocents, by any estimate) dead is actually quite low. So warnings work and targeting is precise
• if there was a war with Iran it would be worse
• Hamas bad

But how does this relate to the genocide convention? Are you saying there is no intent?

We can talk about specific points after but I want to understand how this all connects
