On Oct. 7, the Palestinian government of the Gaza Strip, Hamas, perpetrated an act of genocide against the Israeli people. They intended to wipe out, in whole or part, the Israeli population. They specifically targeted young women, families, and elderly people. They attacked a music festival specifically in order to mass murder young Israelis. They used systematic rape as a method of torture and abuse, including driving nails into the genital areas of women, slicing them open, and shooting them in their groins.
Hamas not only perpetrated genocide, it openly spoke to the world about its intentions to continue committing acts of genocide as long as it were allowed to exist.
