I have a degree in the history of this exact region, so I can say this with minimal expertise: By literally no definition of the term ‘genocide’ is it happening in Gaza today.

One side wants actual genocide and calls for it regularly, but doesn’t have the means to achieve it. The other side is constantly accused of it and has the capability to have done it decades ago, but isn’t.

This isn’t to say Israel hasn’t also committed war crimes. Netanyahu and his cabinet should certainly be investigated for that. Israelis were been protesting him long before this, even more are now, and it’s entirely arguable that his actions directly led to the October 7th massacre. That said, to call the war in Gaza a genocide completely dilutes that term and is an insult to all peoples around the world who have actually faced it.
