I don't think it's genocide but agree that that sort of conduct, at face value, seems fucked up.
But compared to burning people alive and raping and mutilating women, bulldozing a graveyard seems pretty insignificant.
Israel is under attack

what ETHNICITY is being cleansed? Your next post answering this question should contain an ETHNICITY.
So you say, and then appear to stand for the war crime because some people did something worse.
I guess I can not do anything about it, you only can decide trying to look past the tricks your mind is doing to you.
Ur comparing a country to a terrorist organisation and Israel isn’t coming off much better.
There’s also lots of accounts of Palestinians being tortured and sexually abused by Israelis.
I’m convinced now u know what’s going on but just condone it.
It’s not about hammas it’s about clearing Gaza. Absolutely flattened huge areas of it.
They don’t want any Palestinians left there and to keep saying they are targeting hammas is ridiculous.
Israel has spread into Palestine like a cancer.
From being welcomed after the horrors of the holocaust to doing this to the civilians is disgusting.
Jew Settlers will be moving into Gaza soon and u will prob still be banging on about hammas not seeing what is clearly unfolding in front of u

war crimes according to who? The UN who has 12 employees who participated in the October 7 terror attack? Who voted not to condemn said attack?
When summed with everything else, that's how it looks like. Destroying culture and signs of past occupants.

Hamas steals humanitarian aid coming in and hoards it.
Remember the pictures of the plump guys in their underwear sitting in a line? Did they look starved?
Israel has been blocking aid getting in all along
This is absolutely worthless argumentation and it only tells that you need to lower your standards significantly to come up with anything.
E: I misread it, the argumentation makes some sense after all. Okay. Does that mean then that it is not anymore war crime if Hamas takes some? If that is what we are talking about. It can be separately analyzed how much it matters, but it seems to be war crime anyway, no?

5 CONCLUSION
This paper has examined the logic of cemetery destruction, demonstrating the intrinsic connection between attacks on communities and the visible markers of their collective cultures. Where genocide is concerned, the target is the collective. Therefore, genocide is an attack on something greater than mass murder: It is an attack on the communal structures—tangible and intangible—that hold groups together as a collective. This understanding of genocide, identified in Lemkin's original conception, thus holds diverse types of destruction as elements of a single, multi-dimensional process, rather than distinct phenomena. The motivations and legacies of the destroyed cemeteries of Zvornik and Divič attest to this.
Three motivations behind the destruction of cemeteries during genocidal campaigns emerged, namely the strengthening of the myth of national purity, the reclaiming of land that is ‘ours’ and the attempt to erase all visible evidence of ‘the other’—all of which can express genocidal intentions. The second section of the analysis, addressing the impact and the legacy of cemetery destruction, reinforces these findings: namely the reinforcement of cultural separation and mistrust that genocidal campaigns foster and the continued violence on the part of the conflict's winners. It is clear that any attempt to examine a genocide without considering the dimension of cultural destruction will fundamentally ignore crucial aspects of the nature and legacy of genocidal campaigns themselves.
In Bosnia–Herzegovina, cemeteries continue to be targeted even during peacetime, denoting their enduring communicative power. Brett Dakin (2002: 254) maintains that even after the Dayton Peace Agreement was consolidated, Islamic cemeteries in Banja Luka have been destroyed and cleared, including exhumed remains of Muslim dead. The 2005 Annual Report on International Religious Freedom submitted to the Committee on International Relations in the United States House of Representatives (2006: 292) also revealed that in 2005, twenty-six graves in the historic Muslim cemetery in Prnjavor were desecrated, as well as numerous Muslim graves in the Brezičani cemetery near Prijedor, both in Republika Srpska. This continuing phenomenon clearly warrants future examination through quantitative and further qualitative methodological approaches to fully enumerate its occurrence.
Furthermore, examples of cemetery destruction during genocidal campaigns are not unique to Bosnia–Herzegovina and the former Yugoslavia. Multiple studies explore the significance and messaging of cemetery destruction in the cases of Native American communities (Cameron, 1994), Iraq (Isakhan, 2011), Mali (Martinez, 2015), Jewish cemeteries in Greece by Nazis (Saltiel, 2014) and destruction of African American cemeteries (Rainville, 2009) and multiple other contexts where genocidal processes have been identified or are suspected. This suggests the transferability of an examination of the nature of a genocide that centres on the destruction of cemeteries as its metric.
This paper has presented one significant dimension of the logic of cultural violence in one case but suggests that more analysis is required. The stakes are high for this research: our policy and academic misidentification of the nature of genocide and how the logic of cultural destruction fundamentally reinforces it means that our ability to resolve attacks of this type will be impeded.

Destroying Gaza cemeteries and stealing bodies is a new “war crime” in the occupation’s record
According to international law, a deliberate attack on a cemetery could amount to a war crime. The Israeli army admitted to destroying a cemetery in the city of Khan Yunis, south of the Gaza Strip, and exhuming graves there, under the pretext of searching for the bodies of Israeli detainees...

Highlights: According to international law, a deliberate attack on a cemetery could amount to a war crime. The Israeli army admitted to destroying a cemetery in the city of Khan Yunis, south of the Gaza Strip, and exhuming graves there, under the pretext of searching for the bodies of Israeli detainees. This is the first time that the Israeli army has acknowledged the exhumation of bodies. There are many examples of cemeteries that were bulldozed and destroyed by the occupation. The occupation also destroyed the Al-Tuffah Cemetery in eastern Gaza and stole 150 bodies.
Israel claims a tunnel ran through this Gaza cemetery it destroyed. A visit to the site raised more questions than answers

Or do they take everything?

More ad hominen arguments. Something must be wrong with my brain to have a different opinion to you. Okay then.
Dude, you clearly know very little about the history of Israel and Palestine if you honestly believe the Palestinians "welcomed" the Jews to the region. The Palestinian leadership, and other leaders of Arabic countries like Iraq literally supported and sided with Hitler. I truly suggest you educate yourself a bit better if you want to join this discussion.
While I agree that bulldozing cemeteries is repugnant, if this is your best evidence for genocide, you're really having to stretch for this.
If Israel wanted to, every citizen of Gaza could be dead by now. They have the military strength to do that. Why haven't they just done it? The progressive left across the world already think they are, why not just say fuck it and go ahead with it? What do they have to lose?
They don't because they do not want to. Their aim is as stated- to destroy the jihadist Hamas terrorists.
I am doing it solely for the reason you get so pissed off about it. When I go to sleep, I smuggily mumble to my pillow "tee-hee, now Mjäll will blow a vein in their forehead".
It is like you didn't read anything

Yeah i know it's the same for everyone. Just some dumb (cheap, safe, essentially non-controversial) edgelord shtick.
I think you guys are closer to blowing up veins with all the cognitive dissonance of pretending to care about these savage retard nations and their 1300 year old bullshit
