Sorry, but you think that war crimes committed by "individuals" who just so happen to go on to not face any serious punishment, is not evidence of a concerted effort to commit genocide? The indiscriminate bombing of civilians, ordered by the Israeli military's leadership is not genocidal?

How about comments from the Prime Minister himself comparing Palestinians to Amalekites, a group his religion said needed to be exterminated in their entirety

Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass

1 Samuel 15:3

Or how about when another high-ranking member of his party says that Israel's goal is

Erasing the Gaza Strip from the face of the earth.

Is that enough evidence that the goal here is genocide? Would anything suffice?
