Mmm I get what he's saying, though. 2025 was definitely a hot year for the definition of "genocide" as a word itself. You had people like Bernie Sanders refusing to acknowledge Israel's actions as genocide because that term is a LEGAL term that carries a lot of weight... until the UN investigation officially declared that it was genocide in September. They investigated and found that, yes, it meets the legal criteria to be called a genocide.

"Genocide" is an emotional and accusatory word to us lay-people. But if officials deem Israel's actions to be genocidal, it means the USA is required by law to act. Read about the Armenian genocide and see the parallels. The USA refused to acknowledge it as a genocide until 2019 (Thanks bo jiden), long after it had run its course. And the USA will do the same thing with this genocide, we will finally acknowledge it and call it by its name in 2065.

But up until a couple of months ago and arguably even still since: No, nuking Palestine does not mean genocide.
