The thing about genocide is that often it’s a pain to classify, considering that usually, the perpetrators try their very best to hide their intent. And intent is a very important thing to prove if one were to classify genocide. For better or for worse, we don’t have this issue with Israelis.
In fact, they openly boast about their genocidal intent. So much so that it is downright ludicrous that it’s even a debate whether it is or not, given how easy it is to prove. And according to some, even with all of this, it is somehow “antisemitic” and “blood libel” to call what it what Israelis have already proudly been calling it for a while.
Still believe that, somehow, all of this isn’t enough that Israel harbors genocidal intent toward Gaza?
A huge chunk of what is cited here came directly from this database of times Israelis (mainly Israeli officials) have called for genocide in Gaza. There are so many times this has happened that I can’t even mention half of all the instances here.
Sources for all of this (from top to bottom in the meme). Keep in mind that this **only** a list of instances in which Israeli officials had expressed genocidal intent:

(Personal note: This source alone is enough to show Israel’s genocidal intent in Gaza, I mean, Jesus. I’m still going the extra mile just to prove my point that this isn’t some one off incident, though.)

Some honorable mentions that I couldn’t fit in the meme:
Some people will instead prefer the term “ethnic democracy” to describe Israel. Sure, one ethnic group has dominance over the other, but it is still some sort of weird hybrid democracy of some sort.
What they fail to realize is that equality is an essential part of democracy. And a “democracy” without equality is like a bike without wheels. Plus it’s literally the same thing but with a different coat of paint, and no one can convince me otherwise.
Also I’m being extra generous by *only* calling it an ethnocracy. For all practical purposes, it is an apartheid state. Or as they’ll be calling it in the future, a Hafrada state.
