Have you ever in your life read and understood the genocide conversations? Cause this comment speaks otherwise.
Id recommend you to educate yourself:
Genocide is the intentional destruction of a people,[a] either in whole or in part.
The Political Instability Task Force estimated that 43 genocides occurred between 1956 and 2016, resulting in about 50 million deaths.[1] The UNHCR estimated that a further 50 million had been displaced by such episodes of violence up to 2008.[1] Genocide is widely considered to be the epitome of human evil.[2] Genocide has been referred to as the “crime of crimes”.[3][4][5] Incitement to genocide is recognized as a separate crime under international law and an inchoate crime which does not require genocide to have taken place to be prosecutable.[6]
In 1948, the United Nations Genocide Convention defined genocide as any of five “acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group”. These five acts were: killing members of the group, causing them serious bodily or mental harm, imposing living conditions intended to destroy the group, preventing births, and forcibly transferring children out of the group. Victims are targeted because of their real or perceived membership of a group, not randomly.[7][8]
-Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genocide)
As you see Intention is a big part and a war doesn’t constitute intention to kill civilians.
Furthermore your claims are just untrue.
Israel does allow and help to deliver food and water, they even build a temporary Port with the help of USA, they also returned operations of a water treatment plant that was left inoperable by hamas (the “government” of gaza) in fact the war was caused by said group. Furthermore the civilian camps are in fact mostly safe, there have been instances of misfires, that is sad but does happen, or Hamas attacks.
Oh and the claim of prohibiting any way to flee doesn’t make sense, Israel had kept civilian corridors open for weeks, yes they aren’t allowed to leave Gaza, but thats because the probability of hamas hiding among civilians isn’t just high its a certainty.
So By definition, you are wrong.
Have you been living under a rock and purposefully avoiding all the coverage of how Israel have been bombing these “open civilian corridors”?

Maybe you missed the news of how Israel have spent millions of dollars on killing more than 200 aid workers.
You claim intention is needed. What do you call intentionally shelling the “civilian corridors” they themselves tell people to use?
They trap them inside, and shell them continuously. More than a 150’000 people have died as just an indirect cause, being denied clean water, food, shelter and medical supplies.

I’ll give you a quick tldr; because I know to won’t.
What do you think the intent is behind taking out hospitals? I think the intent is to deny medical aid to the hundreds of thousands civilian casualties.
By everything you yourself have stated. What they’re doing is a genocide. Their intention is to exterminate the Palestinian people. Gaza will be reduced to rubble. Along with everyone in it. And after there’s nothing left and no one can live there. Israel will sieze it.
This little port you think you can use as proof otherwise is nothing but bare minimum to try and make it seem like that’s not what they’re doing. Like a child pretending to cough so they can stay home from school.
Please be aware that Hamas is a terrorist organisation, meaning that they don’t have a strict militia, and they often disguise themselves as civilians. So long as Hamas continues to hide in civilian infrastructure, legally, the IDF can continue these attacks.
The UN has told Hamas to stop this for decades, but it’s fallen on deaf ears and is likely to continue.
Likewise, where is your evidence of the 150k figure? Isn’t the figure 38-40k?
Estimations of indirect deaths varies of course since they are more difficult.
https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(24)01169-3/fulltext
The 150k includes these indirect deaths. Deaths from starvation, trampling, disease and sickness as a result of the war.
https://www.thetower.org/article/the-lancet-how-an-anti-israel-propaganda-platform-was-turned-around/
The Lancet has been used by Hamas before. The death numbers are likely very off and purely fictional as there is no credible source for any of that.
Furthermore lancet doesn’t let me fact check with spinscore so thats another reason to not trust them. (403 forbidden error)
You think that is an argument? “Hamas” have used it, that’s it? Hamas has also been using H20 in vast quantities. You gonna stop drinking water too?
“Are likely very off and purely fictional”, If you were capable of reading it yourself instead of just letting your little AI bot do it. You would know why and how they arrive at these estimates. Since they list their sources and references that lead to their estimates. and what they are attributed to
Not peer-reviewed, not relevant.
Don’t use anything non-peer-reviewed as evidence. It’s disingenuous.
We will not have any evidence until after the war is over and bodies can start being dug up from under the demolished buildings and infrastructure.
If you look at their wording they make it clear it’s not “implausible” to believe the current toll including starvation etc is up towards or above 180’000.
Likewise the toll can be less than what it is currently. Your point has zero evidence, so stop saying that it’s 180k. It’s disingenuous.
Our only evidence is from the Hamas-run ministry, which says 40k. However, it’s unclear whether or not they include their own forces as civilians, or even how accurate it is, considering they regularly make mistakes.
Gaza had an estimated population of about 2 million people.
We know that 35% of the buildings in Gaza is severely damaged or destroyed. Very little aid is reaching their target, hospitals are destroyed.
There is nothing disingenuous about me agreeing with them that it’s plausible that an estimated number of deaths as a result from the war is up towards 180 thousand.
But it’s not based on any evidence.
Keep telling that BS to yourself. Your links don’t say anything about Israel bombing those corridors, that’s because there is no evidence about that actually happening at all and the probability is rather that hamas did it.
The remaining comments is just bant old antisemitism in the cape of Israel critic without any proof, much framing/Desinformation and many feelings.
Yes. They do. If you actually read them you would know. For example. In the second link. It’s explicitly stated in the first paragraph.
You must have “missed” that.
It’s funny because any criticism you will drape it as antisemitism. The proof is so overwhelming. Bombing of safe routes, taking out hospitals as a first priority, little by little they are already reducing the strip to rubble. That’s not me thinking they will. That’s them currently doing it.

Maybe fact check stuff before using, i did wich is why i say no source says Israel did it. Even your source refrains from explicitly say that, however it is implied, this is nither verifiable nor likely as mentioned above and by the fact check.
And what makes you think “spinscore.io” is a bias free tool for fact checking or that they even check the facts at all? It’s an “AI” of which you have no idea how it works or what it takes into consideration. As far as we know. It will suggest that you should put glue on pizza.
What gives “spinscore.io” any credibility at all?
Ah yes… Shure i tried to fact check it manually as well and couldn’t find any information about these numbers that didn’t come from the lancet, that’s why i tried tu use a fact check. And that fact check algorithm is actually very accurate most of the time, there are errors because nothing is perfect, but its the most unbiased fact check i know, and thats why i tried to manually check beforehand, wich didn’t have any results about the topic. Just that article i linked you.
And “As far as we know. It will suggest that you should put glue on pizza.” is just complete mental diarrhea and shows you don’t have any actual arguments.
No, your reliance on AI shows you have little to no understanding in what they are and how they work.
They state very clearly how and why they arrive at these estimations. You have so many references and articles that they link you to, to show you where they are getting the information to come to their conclusion.
You are really sitting there saying you don’t know how to fact check an estimate. Do you understand what an estimate is? how we reach estimates? What might make them more or less probable?
