Those are conspiracy theories, though, regarding genocide and paid actors at the pogrom. It's a gross misuse of language to speak of Israel committing "genocide" in Gaza. Israel's gone out of its way to avoid killing civilians, which it wouldn't have done if its intention was to kill all Palestinians. It wouldn't have dropped leaflets or warned them of incoming attacks. It would have used its military to wipe out every Palestinian in the region, which hasn't happened. Palestinian numbers have grown under the occupation.

Yes, Israel hasn't done enough to avoid civilian casualties in Gaza, largely because it's fighting a terrorist force, not a real military. But all wars have civilian casualties.
