Israel has massive military capabilities they are not using, and no meaningful military opposition. If their intent was genocide, they could have killed hundreds of thousands by now. To me this strongly suggests genocide is not their goal.

If you believe genocide / ethnic cleansing is their goal, what is your rationale for their restraint?
