"Far-right Israelis held a march in Sderot, near the border with Gaza, attended by ministers who called for the reoccupation of Gaza. It coincided with the anniversary of Israel’s creation in 1948, in which more than 700,000 Palestinians were forcibly displaced.
Israeli’s Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi, a member of the governing Likud Party, and hardline Knesset member Zvi Sukkot, of the Religious Zionist Party, were among those calling for the reestablishment of Israeli settlements in Gaza.
“For preserving the security achievements that our soldiers lost their lives for, we must resettle Gaza with security forces and settlers that will embrace the land with love,” Karhi said.
National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir said, “First, we must return to Gaza now. We are coming home to the holy land. And second, we must encourage migration – encourage the voluntary migration of the residents of Gaza. It is moral.”"
There are also near-daily protests by Israelis in the streets against Netanyahu's government (before and after 10/7). There are deep divisions in Israeli politics, which we should all understand, because we see it in the US too. When Trump or one of his appointees said something stupid, half the country was rightly horrified. Your example would be like holding up: any Trump rally, any quote from MTG, and the Charlottesville marchers, and then saying the US doesn't have the right to exist, because those people are all terrible.

Aren't the kids all communists? Shouldn't Communist re-education camps ala Stalin and Mao be an exciting way for them to live the communist lifestyle?
In China, after Mao got control and settled in, he realized the revolutionaries would be a threat and had them all killed.

Netanyahu Boasts About Israel Standing Alone, Then Loses America
'If we don't defend ourselves, nobody will. And if we must stand alone, we'll stand alone,' the prime minister said this week. The arrogance of these remarks, as if Israel could 'stand alone,' is comparable only to his inherent ungratefulness to America

It's a little difficult to take these students claims of genocide seriously when they claim writing a paper is a reeducation camp. Writing out what you did wrong and reflecting on how you will not do it again is an exercise done in early elementary.
No the genocide is happening.

Writing a paper to stay in school = reeducation camp?
They aren’t being forced. They are doing so voluntarily. Actions have consequences, including acts of civil disobedience.
Of course not, these idiots are this dumb.

"Joe Biden and his administration have been accused of being complicit in enabling a famine in Gaza by failing to sufficiently act on repeated warnings from their own experts and aid agencies.
Interviews with current and former US Agency for International Development (USAID) and State Department officials, aid agencies working in Gaza and internal USAID documents reveal that the administration rejected or ignored pleas to use its leverage to persuade its ally Israel — the recipient of billions of dollars of US military support — to allow sufficient humanitarian aid into Gaza to stop the famine taking hold."
