Like, not even the most hardcore tankie called the Russian invasion of Ukraine the “Russia-Azov War”. Wouldn’t it make more sense to call it the Israel-Palestine War? Or even the Israel-Gaza War?

(Yes, I know it’s less of a war, more of an genocide, but still.)

Yes. They want you to think they’re there to defeat Hamas. Even though they’re drawing up and executing plans to relocate/murder the entire population at the same time.

Yeah, it’s part of the media’s pro-Israel propaganda campaign to whitewash Zionist crimes and genocidal intention towards regular Palestinians.

Pay no attention to the grotesque amount of casualties, we are only going after Hamas

Also, it's the name so all of them were in Hamas anyway

Yes, the framing is meant to concede by default that Israel only seeks to destroy Hamas and that doing so doesn’t also mean the destruction of Gaza and the 2M+ people (1M children).

I make sure to only call it “Israel’s genocide of Gaza” or “Israel’s genocide of Palestinians”

It’s a bit of propaganda 101.
