In my previous posts I described the ideological and historical aspects of genocide in Judaism
Now I want to look at current practical political aspects.
The Gaza genocide is the ongoing, intentional, and systematic destruction of the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip carried out by Israel during the Gaza war.
This war is run by thirty-seventh Government, led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that exists since December 29, 2022. It is a coalition government with a slim majority in the Knesset.
All actual religious/Haredi parties (Shas, UTJ, RZP, Noam) were either in or formerly in the coalition
None of these parties condemned the genocide in Gaza.
Most religious group of population — Haredim has high level of trust in the Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu quoted the Bible while declaring "a time for war" at a press-conference at the beginning of conflict.
After one year of war Netanyahu addressed the United Nations General Assembly in New York City in front of the nearly empty hall. The whole speech was based on the references to Genesis 12:3 in Bible

The survey, conducted in March and published by Haaretz newspaper on Thursday, found that 82 percent of Israeli Jews support the forced expulsion of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip.
Meanwhile, 47 percent of Israeli Jews answered yes to the question: "Do you support the claim that the [Israeli army] in conquering an enemy city, should act in a manner similar to the way the Israelites did when they conquered Jericho under the leadership of Joshua, ie to kill all its inhabitants?" The reference is to the biblical account of the conquest of Jericho.
Joshua 6:21
And they utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, young and old, and ox, and sheep, and ass, with the edge of the sword.
A new survey by the Accord Center has revealed that 76% of Jewish Israelis agree with the statement that "there are no innocents in Gaza".
Since the war began, the phrase "There are no innocents in Gaza" has become a recurring refrain in Israeli public discourse. Singers, soldiers, former hostages, and politicians — including MK Boaz Bismuth and Avigdor Lieberman — have echoed similar sentiments.
Comments
when explicitly asked, only 76% agree that all people in Gaza are legitimate targets
and only 47% explicitly approve mass killings
Taking into account the situation in Knesset where the ruling coalition is just a little bit over the 50% it is possible to say that citizens of jewish state in Palestine are "split" in two halves like
half of them think that mass killings should continue in some moderate mode where it all looks like "accidental" casualties among civilian population
and another half of them think that it is already the good time came to start to kill more quickly and openly.
As the ruling coalition is now formed by religious parties plus Likud that never distanced itself from Tanakh it is very easy to assume that 47% who support mass killings explicitly are in fact the voters of ruling coalition and in fact the most religious part of their society. But the surveys itself do not provide such info.
All these "emotions" are very easy to explain because population in Gaza consists of the descendants of people who were expelled from their lands in 1947~1948 with the help of the same mass killings. So jews are in fact getting rid of the descendants of lawful owners of the lands that were taken for free. It is logical continuation of the same crime that started in 1947. Plus all these events go strictly along the lines of the God commandments prescribed in Tanakh and Old Testament.
Exodus 23:31
"I will establish your borders from the Red Sea to the Mediterranean Sea, and from the desert to the Euphrates River. I will give into your hands the people who live in the land, and you will drive them out before you."
> if they wanted a genocide it wouldn"t take a whole year to happen, they could do it in a day or week
I actually am not sure, it is technically big task — to kill 2 million people
also the tactics since 1948 is to imitate "the fight against terrorism"
and take more and more territories after every provocation
so in this aspect nothing changed
but this time they did it a little bit more quickly
so humanity started to notice that it is really genocide
perhaps this happened because Netanyahu had political problems
he needed the war and support of all the religious fanatics
to stay in power and avoid the trials about his corruption
as you can remember he managed to get rid of his main political opponent
because that person at some moment could not bear that brutality anymore
and admitted that they "kill children like a hobby"
this triggered his expulsion from political landscape
because they accused him in betraying the basic values of Zionism
