> They're engaged in willful destruction of hospitals

If a civilian facility is used for military purposes it is a legitimate target. Ukranians also bomb schools and hospitals. Are Ukranians commit genocide?

If a hospital is never be attacked, what prevents militaries simply use hospitals as military bases? It's like the ultimate "get out of jail" free card.

> they kill journalists on purpose

US also did in Iraq. And? Does it make US's invasion of Iraq a genocide? Ukranians killed Russian journalists too. Does it make the war in Ukraine a genocide?

> they have systematically blocked aid

Egypt did so as well. Moreover, despite its international obligations, Egypt refused to accept Palestinian refugees as if it wanted a lot of civilians to die.

> Their friend minister recently declared an intent to eliminate all Palestinian territory.

You mean politicians pandering to their base?

> You're just lying.

Sure.
