The accusation of a genocide in Gaza is completely false. According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, the definition of Genocide is "the deliberate and systematic destruction of a racial, political, or cultural group". There is no policy of the Israeli government to destroy the Palestinian people and the actions on the ground support that. There are many different reports of the casualty figures being thrown around. The Gaza Health Ministry is an organization ran by Hamas that accounts for medical field in Gaza. They are run by Hamas, a which is a designated by the western world as a terrorist organization. I do not necessarily believe all the time, because after all they are ran by a terrorist organization, but the Israeli government did agree with them on this specific finding. According to their sources from October 7th, 2025, around 67,173 Gazans have been killed since October 7th, 2023. 31,754 (47%) of those killed were men aged between 18-59, which is the age of most of Hamas terrorists. I am not saying that every single one of those men was a Hamas terrorist, but a large majority of them are. After all, there is wide spread documentation of Hamas terrorists wearing civilian clothing, even in Hamas propaganda videos the fighters are shown wearing civilian clothing. That means that the ratio of militant-to-civilian death is around 1 militant to around 2 civilians. There is no genocide in Gaza.
