Yes, Israel currently is committing genocide according to the definition of the word, its not that hard
That’s not true though. By definition intent matters, and Israel’s intent is to destroy Hamas, not Palestine/Palestinians. If Hamas were to surrender the war would be over, which would instantly put an end to any genocide talk.

Cool rebuttal.
Do you think Israels intention in this war is to eliminate all of Palestine and the people that live in it? If so, why didn’t they just do it? They have the firepower to do that in a single day.

No, what I’m saying amounts to saying that the rest of the world weren’t committing a genocide against Nazis even though a lot of them were killed.
A genocide requires specific intent. The Nazis clearly and vocally had intent to commit genocide. Israel don’t.
