Wrong. 

Hamas has done bad thing, and did bad things on 7 October 2023, but
what they did on one day does not justify the genocide is still going
on right now. 

What Hamas has promised to do -- see here -- 

<https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/hamas-2017-document-full>

may be of import in future political negotiations, but it does not
justify the genocide that is going on right now.

No, I do do not call "everything" the IDF does "genocide". 

The things that it does that I call genocide are the mass murder it
has been carrying out for the last five months and is still doing
today, and the destruction of health services and educational
institutions, which form part of the legal definition of genocide.

Your attitude of "If I want your opinion I'll give it to you" seems
rather arrogant. 

By all means say what you think, but you are really not qualified to
tell me what I think.
