They forcibly removed people of a certain race from their homes, restricted them to a small area, prevented them leaving, then made the area smaller. Then they cut off all their methods of communication outside the area of their confine. Then started indiscriminately murdering civilians and children, including bombing hospitals, and refugee camps. They also instructed civilians to flee to a certain places away from where they were bombing, so that they could avoid being bombed…and then bombed those places they said to flee to.
Literally correct. Behaving badly is not automatically genocidal.
I’d address the obvious omissions in your reply, but this seems like the wrong venue for actual discussion. But no, confining people is not genocide. Cutting off communication is not genocide. Engaging in acts of war that kill civilians is not genocide. Genocide has a specific definition, and none of the items you list qualify. That doesn’t mean that Israel is blameless, and they deserve a hell of a lot of criticism, but they have not committed or attempted to commit genocide.

Totally not genocide. You fucking horses ass.
Don’t forget about taking almost all their water. And leaving only shitty water for them to use.
