I would reject the premise that being Jewish means I have a responsibility here, cause I feel that's touching in some fundamental antisemitism. Again, this is genocide.
Countries do not have the right to exist. People do. Everyone does.

If Israel wanted to destroy Gaza and every Palestinian in Gaza they could do it. It wouldn't take much trying. Not sure what you're basing your "genocide" comment on specifically but it seems hyperbolic, to say the least.
Not sure what you mean about countries not having the right to exist. A country is ultimately a collection of individual that identify under a certain nationality. Humans are social animals. Countries are ultimately just very big extensions of our natural social groups. If countries don't have the right to exist does that mean we should allow the US or Russia to take over Canada?
I'll just remind you that what kicked off this latest skirmish is the murder of civilians by Hamas. That's why we're even talking about this.
