As a rule of thumb as yourself “if Russia did it what would it be called?”. If the answer is something else from Israel doing it then the problem isn’t in Palestine it is staring you in the face in the mirror.

I don't think it can be argued that Israel haven't taken it to the very limit and then beyond.
I think the term Ethnic Cleansing is valid and using dehumanising language, which I also believe to be true, is worrying.
There is no doubt, that Hamas are animals, but innocent Palestinians are not and dehumanising humans makes it easier to justify mis-treatment.
Whilst comparisons between what actions Israel has undertaken and the actions of Nazi Germany are ludicrous and insulting, Israel should stop and take stock.
They had a valid and just reason to take action. They have now, I would assume, severely affected Hamas. They have clearly showed what they are capable of doing in response to any further future attack, either by Hamas or anyone else.
I think now is the time to stop, they retain the option to restart should they have to.
I also think Hamas need to release the remaining hostages.
