        Geno in genocide isn’t referring to genetics. It’s gene as in genos as in race not religion. Arab Jews and Arab Muslims are the same race so it couldn’t be genocide strictly defined but rather the UN/international definition. And that’s wholely ignoring that race is a social construct not a objective fact and science does not in fact recognize “race” but rather geographic phenotypical derivation.

        These five acts were: killing members of the group, causing them serious bodily or mental harm, imposing living conditions intended to destroy the group, preventing births, and forcibly transferring children out of the group. Victims are targeted because of their real or perceived membership of a group, not randomly.[1][2]

        Gaza is not a state, it does not have any of the rights normal countries have, it’s an open-air prison managed by Israel. And it is currently under naval blockade by Israel, so even if Gaza was a state it would still be a war crime.

            You are talking about ethnic cleansing here my friend. Making a situation so hostile and violent that a population needs to flee their homeland.

              It’s a tale as old as time. The other alternative is every few years Hamas attacks Isreal and they carpet bomb Gaza for a few days or weeks.
