Would you say the Palestinian people are also at war with Israel? I wouldn't say so. They're sitting ducks. They are innocent bystanders being slaughtered. That's no war. The war is between Hamas and Israel, but Israel is punishing all of Palestine. That's my take at least. Maybe I'm misinformed.
What it is is a genocide.
Yeah it's not a war, Israel is an occupying force
It can be both a genocide and a war. Hamas is the de facto government of that territory and represents the Palestinian people in Gaza. There was fighting between Organized and ranked Hamas Military forces and IDF right up until the last ceasefire.
The genocide was a result of the targeting civilians as part of the war, breaking rules of war.
Do they really though? Kind of like Trump represents the people of America?
There is argument to be had I guess but I would say yes they do. They have been governing the strip for close to two decades and have popular support from the population even post oct 7th. After the latest ceasefire they still de facto govern the strip.
I would say Trump represents the people of America as well. He is the elected leader and his views may not represent all the citizens but his actions are the actions of America.
