Who is committing the hypothetical genocide?

Russia started a war of aggression so it makes sense they are banned from Eurovision till that has been resolved.

Israel is committing war crimes on a scale that is rare in modern history, so also a good reason to be banned.

And bringing up the oktober 7 attacks kinda sounds hollow after the response from Israel. Hammas killed 1.139 and Israel killed well over 25.000.

Hamas committed a direct attack on civilians, without any military target in mind what-so-ever. Obviously this will be a serious crime against humanity in most people's eyes that makes it harder to count Israel's response as unwarranted, counting in their wrongdoings.

With the Rus-Ukr conflict, the same country is both the aggressor and the attacker that started the invasion. That makes it easier to see who the undoubtedly "bad guy" is.

I'm disappointed that we are both snek. I maintain that I'm spookier than you.

Btw Hamas mostly attacked military installations, military infrastructure, and military targets. Not an excuse for killing civilians, but I see this piece of misinformation being thrown around a lot and I wonder where it came from.

Ah yes, my favorite military installation, a music festival.

So do you mean that no military tagerts were hit? Is this the claim we're discussing here?
