This author tries to thread a bizarre needle.

So simultaneously Israel isn't committing genocide in Gaza because there is no genocidal intent, but also senior Israeli politicians in influential positions are making genocidal statements that could be crimes under the Genocide Convention. Also when Bibi and Herzog make genocidal statements they aren't to be taken seriously because they are just trying to appeal to their political bases. And also since Bibi is an atheist his religious rhetoric of genocide isn't to be taken seriously. But also there is a messianic wing of the Israeli government that is embracing religious genocidal sentiment.

I'm not making this up. That's essentially his argument in this piece.
