Not letting food and water sufficient for a population of 2.2 million in when you control the borders is intentionally killing civilians.

Yes and they should be condemned for this and they are.

Not by you:

Again, I think Israel should rightfully be criticized for many things, but clearing out Hamas makes sense when viewed as it's own topic. And looking at the number of high civilian casualties in Gaza they are being criticized even by the USA, you still have to consider that Hamas are hiding in civilian infrastructure on purpose to use them as human shields. Also while the numbers of casualties in Gaza are being reported from inside Gaza you would not know how many of them are actually part of Hamas. They won't give you this information.

This is you 'both-siding' genocide.

There is one proper response to genocide. Unconditional condemnation without qualifying. Anything else is standing idlely by.

Criticism while also saying 'but Hamas did this' is not unconditional condemnation.

Let me ask you this: do you think there is any behavior that can justify genocide?
