Expert opinions in the Gaza genocide debate

Lead

Currently, the Lead is focused on "that intent is affirmed by organization X, Y, Z" to Israeli officials, and Israeli journalists. This is necessary; however, I think it would be better to be a little bit more precise.

i.e., What specifically of these statements/actions are indicative of intent: e.g., statements that call for direct violence to destroy a protected group, dehumanizing that licenses destruction, operational doctrine prioritizing destruction over discrimination, patterns of conduct used to infer intent when statements are absent or disputed.
