From before, even. This is a long-standing genocidal objective of the Israeli right.
But it’s good that the current phase of the genocide is being called out, at long last, by some national leaders in the West.
I mean it’s pretty obvious genocide was the intent since day one of the nation really.
oh yeah?
Tantura wasn’t the only village they massacred near the beginning of Israel but an Israeli researcher went and interviewed the Israeli soldiers, he recorded their interviews as they admitted war crimes. They killed and buried in mass graves the residents of a village of prosperous fisherman then eventually bulldozed the town after the settlers built up their own houses.
There is a film made about the tapes that includes video interviews of those same soldiers because these massacres are so recent that the soldiers are still alive.
oh part of this?

seems like both sides were in the genocide business
One side was being invaded and driven out of their homes defending themselves while the other side was invading and massacring with weapons and funding from Europe.
This is really all Europe and America’s fault, they wanted to get rid of their Jewish problem and pushed them to go to a country with a population and culture already.
you like the racist fantasy that the jews were invading, when they were just moving back to israel and buying land from the arab landlords
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Israel#Arab_revolt_and_the_White_Paper
the arabs then decided to start a genocidal jihad against the jews, eventually recruiting all the local arab countries to help them
they failed then and kept failing for the next 80 years
