Genocide seems like a strange word to keep throwing around. According to Palestinian health officials 42,000 people died. And Palestinian’s population is like 5 million.
42000 dead is awful. But it’s less than 1% of 1% of the population. If Isreal is trying to eliminate all of them, it’ll take 1000’s of years at this rate.

You are ignoring a significant amount to rationalize this as not an act of genocide

I mean you can down vote me, then throw a wall of text at me that no one is going to read. But it doesn’t change the reality.
40 some thousand dead out of a population 5 million people. War is truly fucked up. We don’t have to change the definition of Genocide to try and make a point. It makes the argument sound fake. Like you want to force a response for fiction.

If you looked at the report, you would see exactly how it fits the international definition of genocide. The point of these definitions is to prevent genocide before it gets to the kind of scale we have seen in the past.
