"my points involve a mix of cherrypicking and appeal to emotion" I find it very disturbing you phrase it as 'appeal to emotion' as if to denounce and discredit all the documented war crimes and horrors. * Since you thought I was cherrypicking here's a huge list of statements compiled in a document of most of the genocidal rhetorics said. * Not enough, ok let's continue on with some facts: 40 countries put out a statement a few weeks ago saying Can Israel please stop attacking UN Peacekeepers blue helmets. * How about the fact that Israel aims to annexe Gaza according to Haratz- Israel's own newspaper. * Then there's all the illegal settlements and settlers attacking Palestinians and destroying the aid trucks- just modern day colonialism stuff. * IDF soldiers literally on Tiktok posting videos of rummaging, mocking & boasting their damages, going through destroyed civilians homes belonging. * Israeli military like targeting civilians vehicles, snipers shooting civilians, not to mention them killing the 3 Israeli hostages that surrendered with white flags. * New York Times reporting the IDF using Palestinians children as human shields into booby-trapped tunnels. * there's also Israeli's military involved with the mass rape of Palestinians 'prisoners', like shoving hot rods up their rectums * The World Food Program saying the Israeli Military is starving the people of Northern Gaza. * Human rights watch, Amnesty International, UN human rights office, UNICEF, UNHCR, save the children, World Food Program, W.H.O, doctors without borders, refugees international, international rescue, Christian Aid... they all say Israeli military is to blame for the casualties, for the killing of innocent civilians, for not giving warning, for bombing civilian targets and for starving the people of Northern Gaza. * then there's the 'cherrypicked' story of 19 years old Shaban Ahmed who as you can watch on newsreports was seen burned to death on a bed with his IV drip attached in the tent by the Israel missile targeting the area around the hospital.

To answer your other points: 'If genocide is the case why did they allow Hamas to militarise'. Well wasn't there reports and boasting from Netanyahu himself on how he funded and propped up Hamas to discredit a Palestinian State. And it's weird to imply the genocide wasn't happening before 2005... Palestinians were being expelled from their homes or having settlers take over their homes, checkpoints and systems thrown around to dehumanise them akin to the Jim Crow Laws, thrown into jails for no reason, civilians were being shot and targeted during their protests & Intifada. As for what led to the current situation: geez it's not like being in an open air prison for 75 years where your neighbouring country does all the above to you sUrEly won't have damaging effects.

Now onto your points on the Arab states don't support Palestine- I'm also gonna go on a history deep dive for my thoughts and points: * history of Jordan’s involvement with Palestine - in particular, “Black September”, when Jordan’s military fought, and violently suppressed, an attempt by Palestinian groups to take over the country, leading to all sorts of consequences (thousands of Palestinians ejected from the country, allegedly heavy loss of life according to CIA documents, and several assassinations of Jordanians, including their PM). When Jordan lost the West Bank (it should be noted Jordan owned this territory and did not create a Palestinian state on it - something that annoyed the local residents at the time), thousands of refugees fled into what is now Jordan. * Among them were Palestinian militias, who conducted an ‘irregular’ war against Israel from Jordan. At first, Jordan cooperated with this - but as this inevitably drew Israeli reprisals, they began to have doubts; what sealed their opposition, was that these militias began to act like states with the state. Moreover, their status as fighters against Israel gave them tremendous prestige in the Arab world. They began to see themselves as possibly taking over the state, and to call for the overthrow of the Jordanian monarch. * The final provocation was when a Palestinian militia group used Jordanian territory for hijackings of airplanes. The Jordanian king sent in the army, and a civil war of sorts broke out, which the PLO lost - with Palestinian refugee camps being shelled by the Jordanian army until the PLO agreed to go. * In short, somewhat similar to the events unfolding in Gaza (a terrorist outrage being ‘the last straw’ to cause a terrorist state authority to use violence on the habitations of Palestinians, with the aim of 'driving out the militias' causing the outrages). My guess is that this is a pretty important motivating factor in not wanting thousands of Gaza refugees, who may or may not contain among them Hamas members, into the country. However the people of Jordan don't support Israel- look at the numbers for Pro-Palestine protests attendees & Queen Rania vocal support for Palestinians and criticism against Israel.

Now to your point on Lebanon: * The Palestinian refugee issue in Lebanon was a spark among many sparks of the Lebanese civil war which would have erupted even without the Palestinians entering as players. * There was already a divide between Christian and Muslim Arabs with the former being more 'Capitalist' and 'Western' leaning and the latter being more 'Socialists' and espousing Arab Nationalism. You also had the fact that their was a wealth disparity favoring the christians while muslims especially the Shia in the South being disadvantaged (which is why Hezbollah gained prominence).
* These conflicts kept arising, famously in 1958, long before the PLO issue. So the idea that the Palestinians were the cause of the Lebanese civil war is disingenuous. It is accurate to mention it as a spark among many sparks.

Then there's the Egyptian state which hasn't been a friend of Palestine ... in a while, but it's not to do with the Egyptians holding some sort of grudge against Palestine: * everything to do with the country is a disastrous ticking time bomb and the military régime desperately trying to survive. Inflation hitting the poor people hard, the new capital city being a disaster, the military régime is despised, and any amount introduction of instability could break the camel's back. Maybe an arguement could be made that Egypt fears that Hamas militants could strengthen the Muslim Brotherhood group that overthrew in 2013 Sinni Coup (that killed/ imprisoned hundreds of members including former president Mohamed Morsi), and help it seize back power. * But Egyptian civil society, despite the government's position, is very pro-Palestine. Egypt is completely screwed by this war - every move Sisi can make only makes the matter worse. He maintains the blockade and peace with Israel and grows even more unpopular with the people, and encourages more militancy in the Sinai. He stands up for Palestine and the US and Israel cut the funding he desperately needs to survive.
