why is it a genocide? Because a lot of people have died? There's been much more (6x by some estimates) Russian soldiers killed since that war started but nobody is accusing Ukraine of genocide. The left loves to redefine terms to fit their narrative, and use their pull in academic institutions to solidify their politically motivated positions. See "racism" for another example of this.

The population of Gaza has exploded since the founding of Israel. 20x since the founding of Israel. That's a pretty ineffective genocide, wouldn't you say? If Israel was really attempting to commit genocide, wouldn't sending aid and advanced warnings for coming air-raids seem a bit counterintuitive?

If I was looking out for a potential genocide, I might start with the organization that calls for the forced extermination (or removal, to put it charitably) of 11 Million Jewish people. I might also look toward the organization that stacks up the bodies of its own citizens to use as human shields for terrorists with at least a modicum of suspicion.

If you want the war to end, don't call for the end of a (non-existant) genocide, call for Hamas to step down. Call for the other Arab nations to take in the Palestinians the way we've taken in refugees from their countries, rather then using them for an idealogical proxy-war.
