So far, the two main responses to these ten questions fall into two categories: (1) “The West Bank is not untouched.” Critics point to incidents such as settler violence or isolated clashes. But this misses the point. The claim in the essay is not that nothing bad has happened in the West Bank, but that there has been no IDF campaign that can be claimed as wanton attacks to kill Palestinian civilians in the WB. (2) “Humanitarian actions are just a cover-up.” When confronted with evidence that flatly contradicts genocide — food deliveries, vaccination campaigns, evacuation warnings — critics insist these are merely cynical tactics to mask extermination. Yet they provide no evidence for this sweeping claim. By definition, it means nothing Israel could do would ever count as disproof of genocidal intent. The hurdle to prove genocide is the "only inference" for Israel's actions, but this is thrown out the window. In both cases, the rebuttals are so weak or conspiratorial that they only highlight the emptiness of the genocide charge. No other real responses to any other of the questions.
