Israel's endgame? No sign of post-war plan for Gaza
Israel's endgame? No sign of post-war plan for Gaza
Israel is vowing to wipe out Hamas in a relentless onslaught on the Gaza Strip but has no obvious endgame in sight, with no clear plan for how to govern the ravaged Palestinian enclave even if it triumphs on the battlefield.

Because people love throwing around the world "genocide" when it's about Israel doing anything they don't like. It's not a genocide.

Very much agree.
Even Israel doesn't have a blank check to recreate the holocaust in broad daylight. A ground invasion to stamp out terror is cleaner in that sense.
Note: I could be very, very wrong, but the ruling Israeli far right has been pretty clear about what they wanna do to Gaza.

There are quotes of soliders, officers and generals in reserves saying “We will do what needs to be done, but we won’t commit the war crimes you’re asking.” Almost verbatim.
I mean they then proceeded to bomb Palestinians who were supposed to be in safe locations or fleeing along safe routes. Not saying the IDF is fall of war criminals that wanna drink the blood of Palestinian children, but "we won't commit the war crimes you're asking" is a little too late.

No I'm not talking about that one. Remember a week or so ago when they designated evacuation spots that would be safe from airstrikes then airstriked those locations? Remember when they bombed trucks full of people evacuating south, as ordered, along designated safe routes? According to my understanding, these are blatant war crimes.

They were bombed because of Hamas presence.
Why were they ordered to head to a location that has Hamas presence?
Also, another similar incident:

If both these locations had Hamas presence then that's a massive failure on the part of the IDF.
Also articles about the bombed refugee trucks.

According to this interview with someone from the Human Rights Watch, it is considered a war crime (if I understand it correctly):
The laws of war require armies to avoid deliberately targeting civilians, and also to avoid attacks that by their nature cannot distinguish between civilians and combatants. In particular, in Gaza, because it’s such a densely populated urban area, when you fire explosive weapons on a massive scale, it’s predictable that civilians will die. It’s predictable that children will die.
