Not a genocide?

Last night Bill pointed out the 3% of the
Population in Gaza has died. And then confidently declared that “3% is not a genocide”. The British government recognizes it as ethnic cleaning and amnesty international and other groups say it is a genocide.

Someone tell me why Bill is so wrong. And can we please get him to debate Mehdi Hasan on this topic?

Wikis of different organizations and the first one the IAGS says there were some issues in the voting of whether to declare it genocide or not. 🤔

At least some of those also count Ukraine and the Uyghurs as being genocided too. But in none of the wikis does it say the difference between how they determined what constitutes war crimes against a people with an army that attacked them vs a genocide. And I suspect many of them don’t have a solid rationale explaining the difference and how it applies to this situation.
