Alright, that's enough.

Well they were actually attacked from more than just Hamas, but it is Hamas that perpetrated the massacres. It doesn't help that Hamas took hostages. If there were no hostage-taking, none of this would be as messy as it is.
In my personal armchair opinion, I think Israel should've waited before immediately going for the hostages to get some international support. But then again, that's giving Hamas power.
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.
I think you need to filter by user
The idea that there's a good guy and a bad guy when it comes to war is stupid.
The fault is on both of them, really. Israel had plenty of warnings from Jordan, Egypt, the US, the EU and their own security agency about an attack in October.
Of course, there is always an attack, and Israel is also not allowed to stop an attack before it happens, instead only after it happens.
Not peer-reviewed, not relevant.

Don't use anything non-peer-reviewed as evidence. It's disingenuous.
What I'm saying is that the laws of what is considered genocide become blurry depending on how diverse that area is.
Or you can oppose both.
Of course it matters what either side says, especially if what they say is genocide.
Neither Gaza nor Israel are innocent in the war.
Are you honestly saying that the IDF is worse than Hamas?
Truly barbaric.
