You may not think it's enough, but contrary to implications here, Israel isn't doing everything in their power to take Hamas in a way that 's most beneficial to them. That would have involved carpet bombing the Gaza Strip on day 1. There would be hundreds of thousands of dead Gazans instead of 10s of thousands. And before anyone asks if that's "right", with the way Hamas is set up in Gaza, it's not possible to take them out without some civilian losses.
It's a question of balance and whether Israel is doing enough to protect Gazans and accomplish military goals that will ensure the safety of their own citizens. I would agree that Israel could do more. Are they doing so little to protect Gazan lives that it amounts to genocide, I would say no.
