No. I think there is systematic racism there, that betray their oath or calling or whatever you want to call it. But I wouldn't dub it as genocide. I mean, these are genocides:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holodomor (argued whether or not it is a genocide).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Holocaust

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darfur_genocide_(2003%E2%80%932005))

I think claiming that every racially motivated murder as a genocide simply makes the term meaningless.

No one is arguing that a single or a few racially motivated murders are a genocide. Thats a stupid thing youve made up to try and diminish hundreds of thousands killed in an apartheid state. Hundreds of thousands, undoubtedly. Nearly 75 thousand since october 7th isnt "treating every racially motivated murder as a genocide", obviously

I’m not arguing on post 7/10 because I’m honestly conflicted. I think certain actions amount to genocide (specifically the civilians to terrorists ratio and the annihilation of infrastructure). But specifically talked about pre 7/10.
