I haven't seen anything like the current actions before in Israel. Previous to the Oct attack response, the only significant calls for genocide in the area came from Muslims. Israel treated people in Gaza terribly, and illegally kept expanding their settlements. But it was nothing like any conventional use of the word 'genocide' would be. Things changes throughout '24, but it was a slow transition and with all the lies on both sides, it wasn't clear until the end of December how much Isreal had gone off the deep end. And then trump came into power and encouraged them and it got significantly worse. So I'm not sure where your 'years of excuses' comes from because it doesn't fit the actual timeline.

Absolutely. But diplomacy starts with words and it sometimes works. We don't know what would have happened next if trump hadn't fucked everything ten times over. We know trump actively encouraged the genocide, so it's a significant difference.
