Genocide is a broader term than just "kill all of them". If the ultimate goal of Israel is to gradually force the Palestinians out of Gaza and the West Bank, then that would be genocide.
I think that "ethnic cleansing" would more of an apt description, which would still go against the
UN Security Council Resolution 1674 and is of course wrong on any level. I see people throwing around the word "genocide" which has been around since the mid 40's without fully understanding what it entails. Here's what the UN says about this:
"In 1948, the United Nations Genocide Convention defined genocide as any of five "acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group". These five acts were: killing members of the group, causing them serious bodily or mental harm, imposing living conditions intended to destroy the group, preventing births, and forcibly transferring children out of the group. Victims are targeted because of their real or perceived membership of a group, not randomly."
Here are few examples of genocides in recent times:
Armenia (1915-23), the Holocaust (1941-45), Cambodia (1971-79), Bosnia (1992-95), Rwanda (1994).
I'd add the 10 stages of genocide, from George Stanton, president of the Genocide Watch, who also criticized the term of ethnic cleansing as a cover-up for genocide.
1.
Classification:
"People are divided into "us and them."
2. Symbolization:
"When combined with hatred, symbols may be forced upon unwilling members of pariah groups..."
3. Discrimination:
"Law or cultural power excludes groups from full civil rights: segregation or apartheid laws, denial of voting rights."
4. Dehumanization:
"One group denies the humanity of the other group. Members of it are equated with animals, vermin, insects, or diseases."
5. Organization:
"Genocide is always organized... Special army units or militias are often trained and armed..."
6. Polarization:
"Hate groups broadcast polarizing propaganda..."
7. Preparation: "Victims are identified and separated out because of their ethnic or religious identity..."
8. Persecution: "Expropriation, forced displacement, ghettos, concentration camps".
9. Extermination: "It is 'extermination' to the killers because they do not believe their victims to be fully human".
10. Denial: "The perpetrators... deny that they committed any crimes..."
It is no Bible and there are many caveats but I'd personally say that Netanyahu and some (former) members of its cabinet and current military leadership pretty much fill the bill to an extent, from point 1 to 8. If only based on the declaration made since 7/10 and how Israel and its army have been conducting themselves in the Occupied Territories to this date, especially since Netanyahu came to power. It's still more about the appropriation of land, by any means necessary, rather than targeted and systematic physical elimination of the Palestinians. Also, Gaza is a ghetto, an open-air prison, but not a concentration camp in the sense of what we usually associate with the notion.
Things get muddy after point 8 and we're far, far away from that absolute red line. There's no doubt in my mind that the current Israeli PM has no intention of recognizing any kind of Palestinian State and, quite frankly, wants them driven out of what he considers as Israel's rightful borders. He will also use unrestricted violence to re-establish the "natural order of things", regardless of the Gazan civilian losses. However, an intended genocide as we understand it, it is not, in my opinion. I also doubt that the Israelis, in their overwhelming majority, would go along with it.
