The only genocide in history with massive population growth.

You being ignorant and denying it everywhere doesn’t stop it from being genocide
> What is the legal definition of genocide?
> The definition contained in Article II of the Convention describes genocide as a crime committed with the intent to destroy a national, ethnic, racial or religious group, in whole or in part
Note that it only requires intent, it doesn’t require the population to be completely annihilated
Lots of current Israel government officials have openly called for the destruction of Gaza, have called Palestinians sub-human/animals, have said there are no innocent civilians in Gaza and even Netanyahu said Palestinians were Amalek, which is whistle blowing for genocide
The intent is pretty clear, in the open, in recorded public speeches and interviews
And that’s exactly what Israel is doing to Palestinians
Many government officials, including Netanyahu, have openly made genocidal statements, like calling Palestinians Amalek, calling them sub-human/animals, saying there are no innocent civilians in Gaza and calling for leveling the place, not to mention the thousands of bombs dropped, the insane number of civilians killed and civilian infrastructure destroyed
Seems like some people will wait until all Palestinians are killed and then say, oh I guess it was genocide
Maybe Israel doesn’t want to directly kill 2+ million people, but they are sure trying to get rid of them. They are: 1) killing and displacing them, 2) making it insanely hard for them to live in Gaza (destroying hospitals, schools, parks, government buildings, etc) and 3) pushing for neighboring countries to take them as refugees
And if Israel get away with it, the West Bank will be next (I mean they are already on it)
