If someone's supporters lie enough can you genocide them? If not then I don't see how this is relevant.

This is a discussion about propaganda, not justifying the scale of a military response.
As an aside throwing the word "genocide" around lightly is also one of the cheapest forms of discourse. Constantly escalating language doesn't make for useful debate. It's just an overused tactic to make your opinions sound more important.
Claiming that a force currently committing a genocide has "moral clarity" is simultaneously propaganda and a justification of the genocide, yes.
I'm not using it for effect, it's an accurate description according to this israeli scholar of genocides. https://jewishcurrents.org/a-textbook-case-of-genocide
I'm pretty up to date with what's happening on the ground.
There is no "genocide" of Gazans taking place. That's an absolutely ridiculous claim.
The IDF has allowed all the humanitarian aid through, and even risked their lives to open up a safe passage for citizens to get to safe zones, because Hamas was blocking them from leaving (because they use civilians as shields and propaganda).
I even watched a video today of a large group of Hamas terrorists being allowed to surrender and lay down their weapons, unlike what Hamas did to innocent civilians (killed them).
