    So you do mean that a genocide has been happening when a people is wiped out? That’s not the definition, please look it up.

      I did. Maybe you should read it as well. The definition crucial portion here is that you need an intend to exterminate out a people and take actions in that direction, typically murder. That’s why you could actually argue that the Hamas is committing genocide. After all wiping out the Israelis is their goal.

      But it’s moronic to accuse someone of having the intend to do something after they had more than half a century opportunity to do so and didn’t.
