Israel must be very careful in its response to the current Palestinian initiative. Israel holds immense and overpowering military assets to deal with this but they must be used in measure and as required. To launch an all-out, no-holds-barred offensive (as the current center-right government is likely to do) could lead to atrocities and accusations of genocide. In this digital age it would only take a few horrifying pictures of innocents caught in the carnage going viral for world opinion to turn against Israel. I have no dog in this fight but this fight could easily spin out of control and pull the entire world into flames if cooler heads do not prevail.

I mean they’re fairly routinely accused of such a few times a year by both the U.N and other international organizations. And their typical response is to give such organizations the finger.
In fact it’s become routine enough that it’s not reported on unless they need a distraction or the news cycle is slow.
Doubt they’d start caring about such accusations now.
