If Israel wanted to genocide Palestinians they would all be dead tomorrow or in prison-like re-educations camps. I do not agree with the way they are handling it, it could be done like the way US took Fallujah for example, section by section, conquer-and-hold and work more with the locals, especially basic needs, without turning everything into rubble and telling the Palestinians they're on their own for food and supplies. That sucks, and it's wrong, and Biden has been doing his best to tell them to stop that shit. it's not genocide though. Hamas is the target that is to be destroyed, not Gazans (who aren't Hamas). Sure they can't stop the movement 100% but they can kill or imprison the bulk of the current practitioners depending on if they want to surrender or not

By this argument, since there's still Jewish people around, the holocaust was not a genocide, which I find a completely unacceptable conclusion.

> if this were a genocide, they'd be in camps

Gaza has been described and essentially functions as a concentration camp. 2.5 million people in an area the size of Rotterdam, no going in or out, all borders, shores, airspace controlled by Israel, food, electricity, water supply controlled (and heavily restricted) by Israel. By your argument it is in fact a genocide, and I'm inclined to agree.
