Does Palestinians' right to resist Israeli occupation encompass a right by Hamas' to commit genocide?

[b]Under Kuper's legal theory (see above post), wouldn't the UN's inaction, its failure to condemn the Hamas' October 7 massacre in Israel, reaffirm a right to commit genocide?[/b]

[b]Note also that If Israel's invasion of Gaza constitutes genocide, then it's own claim to a legal right to self-defense also amounts to a legal claim to a right to commit genocide.[/b]

Every new development I hear about or read about is just awful. Attacking a hospital because of tunnels the Israeli government put there, shooting hostages, denying civilians clean water, and worse.

@LordShadowfire I find it interesting that both Hamas and Israel present their own legal defense to committing genocide. That's scary.

@flipper1966 It is. And they mostly justify their actions because of what the other side is doing. I don't think this is anything new, but thanks to the 24-hour news cycle, the mask is off, as they say. We get to see it all. And it's ugly. Beyond ugly.
