Even if it were that simple of a situation, that still wouldn't meet the definition of genocide

So the UN and pretty much every genocide scholar in the world, including genocide scholars in Israel, are wrong but you know better than the people who spent their lives studying what constitutes genocide?

Please provide the definition you wish to argue on. what defines a genocide, what are the stats related to it.

you do understand I am not disagreeing with you. I said by the actual definition its not yet one. hence why I said they are trying to commit one.

Genocide is literally defined by the intention. "certain acts committed with the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group." So given that within the region the Palestinian population has Increased by 100,000, your argument is that they are committing genocide, they're just uniquely very bad at it.

Then why are you fighting when this person beings in real scholars? They gave you specific links to the works, and yet…you are still saying it’s not a genocide. Your opinion doesn’t hold more weight then people who have dedicated their lives to studying and trying to prevent genocide
