Over 1% of the TOTAL civilian population in Gaza has been killed, with no end in sight. In what twisted worldview is that not genocide?
That commenter apparently went to the turkish school of genocide denial... "if that were a genocide, how come there are still greeks a d armenians around?"
Genocide is a claim of intent, has nothing to do with body count. Israel does not intend to destroy Palestinians. They intend to destroy Hamas and choose legal targets to that effect. Call it atrocious, call it terrible, all it unacceptable, call it all manner of things you don't like, but to call it genocide is simply wrong.
