Well, they've only killed 1% of Gazans, surely that's not enough to worry about their intentions!
Thats not the definition of a genocide... Germany killed 1 % of the french population in WW2 and its wasn't a genocide.
A genocide is characterized by the intention to annihilate a people. And while the far right in Israel is voicing support for a genocide, the current offensive is definitely not a genocide. This doesn't mean that its not against international law or just. But it simply doesnt fit the definition of a genocide – no matter how often you call it that way.
Have you read the articles of the genocide convention?
