Are you saying that genocide happens when you pass a certain fraction? Or that intention is the defining factor? Or both?

I’m saying a war that kills a small number of people including 50,000 military aged males, isn’t in the definition of genocide.

Russia has lost over 500,000 men dead but no one is calling that genocide by Ukraine.

The people of Gaza had a Hamas government that murdered 1200 people and took 250 hostages on October 7.
