I think that the way people in different countries perceive the conflict in Gaza is strongly influenced by how their media presents it. In the US, for example, large media companies have often shown a more pro-Israel perspective due to political, economic and cultural factors. In the Netherlands, the picture is often more critical, partly due to different editorial choices and a different political context.
International organizations such as the UN, Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch have made very serious accusations against Israeli actions, including the possible commission of war crimes and genocide-like acts. The term “genocide” has a legal definition, and the International Court of Justice is now looking into it. Until there is a verdict, you can formally say that it is still under investigation, but the fact that such a lawsuit is even going on shows how serious the situation is assessed by international bodies.
In the Middle East, a climate has prevailed for years that has ensured that this situation has arisen. Committing genocidal acts will only worsen this climate and Israel will increasingly suffer the consequences of appropriating the Gaza Strip in the future. After the fall of Assat, it also took a piece of Syria. This too will have consequences in the future. It is safe to say that Israel has a very selfish and aggressive style of land grabbing.
You can say that this is self defense but I see another agenda shining through.
