Not in speech. Moreover, Hamas was/is a legitimate target.

The Israeli cabinet spoke about flattening Gaza from day 1 and you're a genocide apologist.
I am careful with language. War crime and ethnicity cleansing have been established by now.
Ethnic, not ethnicity.
I published a presentation in early Nov 23 detailing genocidal speech and action, which was common from ministerial level to media and soldiers on the ground. Israel had ample forewarning of Oct 7, ignored it & used friendly fire to increase casualty numbers as a pretext for long planned genocide.
"I am careful with language" doing their best Richie Torres impression is surprisingly silent now
You must have a quote then.
Amichai Eliyahu announced in early Nov that nuking Gaza was an option. Nissim Vaturi wrote that Israel's goal was "erasing the Gaza Strip from the face of the earth." Netanyahu referred to Palestinians as Amalek later that month, a nation ancient Israelis wiped out.
Yoav Gallant, Oct 9 announced a complete siege: "There will be no electricity, no food, no water, no fuel. Everything is closed. We are fighting human animals and we will act accordingly." Textbook genocidal speech. Bezalel Smotrich called all 2m Gazan residents Nazis 2 days later.
Not overt genocide. Horrible, war crime, but not overt.
Are you saying that referring to the enemy as animals, saying you're cutting off food and water, and that you intend to wipe the Gaza Strip from the face of the earth (all of which has come to pass) is not overt genocidal speech? As a genocide researcher, I can assure you you're wrong.
