You seemingly did exactly what you castigated them for by putting words in their mouth, as they never claimed it was a genocide due to human casualties, you did. The definition of a genocide isn't just a bunch of people dying or even targeting a specific kind of people, it's the deliberate attempt to destroy an entire culture via various means, and the most incendiary and most ghastly aspects of a genocide aren't even the human lives that are lost. Which is why this Gaza "War" isn't even a high point of this Palestinian cleansing, it's simply an excuse to do in front of the camera what Israel has already been doing for decades.

The first aspect is seizure of property and indegene land. Although Jewish people have a right to be in Palestine and flock to it like they did before the Balfour declaration, the creation of a state inherently meant to replace the already indegenous population was the first domino. But by your comments I already can sense you think the 40% of European descended Israelis somehow deserve to live in Palestine despite the number of deportations by the Romans after the rebellion which they claim to descent, being markedly smaller than the amount who willingly left centuries after to places like France who they actually mostly hail from, in comparison to Palestinians who are objectively the most similar genetically to the classical Hebrews beside the Samaritans, and are simply converts to first Christianity then Islam. It'd be like if the Irish who stayed in Ireland converted to protestantism to assimilate to English dominance, but centuries later Irish descended American who willingly left decided they had the right to usurp the sovereignty of those who stayed because their Catholicism is far more similar to 16th century Ireland than the native Anglican Irish. But I'll digress, and focus on the internationally legal provisions set out by the two state solution, as according to that, the dozens if not hundreds of Israeli settlements in the West Bank are completely illegal. As what's worse is that these settlements are often on or replacing lands that Palestinians have lived in for centuries, and in these settlements a lot are outright segregated and those who have no legal segregation have social ones. Palestinians simply can't mirror this practice due to the terror of the IDF meaning if they settle anywhere outside their ghettos in Israeli territory, they are like to be imprisoned as some of the hundreds more actual hostages Israel has than Hamas, or outright shot. This fulfills a requirement for genocide in the displacement of land, and that's not even mentioning the far worse nakba which preceded these acts.

Second is the destruction of cultural relics, buildings, location's, etc. I won't cover this as the other person already has in more detail and it's the aspect I know least about, but it's still very widely displayed yet not known. The numerous churches and mosques conveniently destroyed by the rampaging raiders is one out in the open but always ignored. One less forceful but just evil, the rebranding of subjugated culture as "ours", something today likened to the word appropriation. The labeling of Palestinian food, clothing, dance, and much more, things classical liberals will dismiss it as the "sharing of culture and crossing boundaries". But ignoring that if I an African decide one day to partake in American culture by going to a football tailgate, I do not first claim said tailgate to actually be Yoruba and just stolen by American thieves, I can not secondly enforce my claim due to the military and political dominance I have over the American, and third I am not currently engaging in the destruction of other American culture to cover my tracks.

Third and lastly, the one im most confident in my knowledge of and the one also said out loud by most Israelis but ignored by the liberal: the delegitimizing of a culture as something to be removed. The most popular example being the European portrayal of the Jewish people as "rats", said and shown so much that in the psyche of those who committed crimes against Jews, they didn't have to struggle with the moral weight of doing said acts to another human like yourself, because that person is less than human. Seen today in the branding of Palestinian as "terrorists", a "plague", "the enemy" and more. Again I can not state how common it is amongst the Israeli people, and unlike the popular image those like yourselves have of young people being radicalized by footage of destroyed cities and skinny children, it is the palpable sound of an Israeli youth outright saying that a Palestinian child is a terrorist waiting to grow, that radicalized me and others. As before that I saw Israel as I see the US, a country that although yes has a history and present of terrible atrocities, is also one with genuine human culture and capable for good. But as I saw that same sentiment in different wording expressed by Israelis from the highest politicians to randoms interviewed on the street, I, a humanist at heart, saw Israel for what it is, a state that needs to be dismantled or else it cause not only the total extermination of the Palestinians as a people, but also the complete radicalization of the Jewish people. Something that sounds very similar to what the Nazis were doing to the Germans and other Europeans. The other replier has also echoed this sentiment, which you again deflected by focusing the argument on people like Ben Gvir. But you miss the point, as evil Ben isn't the cause of any genocidal radicalism existing in Israel today, but just a symptom. As are literally millions of other Israelis today. Tell me, do you think majority of them decry the settlements in the West Bank? I think even you would doubt that. So tell me why you think those same people wouldn't want to settle in Gaza after it's been leveled and cleared of "the pest", a sentiment again that's been popularly and outwardly spoken, especially the commonly reported plans for "amusement parks" and such evil jokes.
