Myth #1: Israel is guilty of ā€œgenocideā€ in Gaza.

The term ā€œgenocideā€ has a clear meaningā€”itā€™s the destruction or attempted destruction of a whole people.

Yes , 95% of people starving in the world were in Gaza when Israel chose to withhold aid to them. That is the attempted destruction of a whole people

Not sure why you are debating semantics here, as that statement is just straight up wrong, which can be easily confirmed by taking a single look at article 2 of the Genocide Convention (emphasis mine):

In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such
