    Being forced from your homes; deprived of food, water, and healthcare; and tortured and terrorized is genocide by any definition.

    Comparing the effectiveness of your genocide to the effectiveness of Nazi genocide does not help your cause.

      genocide has a very specific definition under international law and “tortured and terrorized” is not genocide. It is torture, and terror.

      Do you consider Hamas’ terror attacks and torture of civilian hostages to be genocide against Israel? Of course you don’t. Why? Is it the lack of effectiveness of your genocide that makes you OK with it?

        Genocide is an internationally recognized crime where acts are committed with the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group

        The destruction of Gaza and the continued displacement in the West Bank for this definition. Israel is destroying Palestine and the Palestinian people. That definition is from the Holocaust Museum.
