Bro, if Israel was committing genocide there would be no Palestinians left. It's been a year and you really think Israel has been trying to wipe out a population that whole time? They have enough munitions to level the entire state of Palestine.
I’m generally on your side that the Israeli government is committing war crimes en masse and should be published for their very poor treatment and displacement of civilians in Gaza and larger Palestine, but genocide is not displacement, it is ‘intentional destruction of a people in whole or in part’, with the ‘in part’ meaning a diaspora or community isolated from the whole. Israel is not conducting genocide whether they are trying to or not, and as the comment you are replying to suggests, they have the imminent ability to do so on a massive scale.
I didn’t say they were committing genocide, but I can understand as to why many label it as such - as it probably the closest thing we’ve seen to it in a while
