Nope:

The 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide is a United Nations treaty that legally defines genocide as a crime under international law. Adopted on December 9, 1948, it was the UN's first human rights treaty and came into effect to prevent and punish the mass killings of national, ethnical, racial, or religious groups. The convention outlines specific acts that constitute genocide, such as killing members of a group, causing serious harm, or inflicting conditions of life calculated to destroy it.

The convention defines genocide as any of five acts committed with the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial, or religious group:

Killing members of the group

Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group

Deliberately inflicting conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction

Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group

Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group

"acts committed with the intent to destroy....."

If Israel intended to commit genocide, there would be millions dead.

Not by accepted definition of genocide.

 

[ZenMode]

Not by accepted definition of genocide.

Accepted by who? I mean, there was a worldwide convention after WWII to define and outlaw genocide and you don't support their definition?

Killing civilians systematically is fundamental to definition of genocide.

 

[ZenMode]

Killing civilians systematically is fundamental to definition of genocide.

Yes, killing civilians is fundamental to genocide. So is the intent to wipe out the group being targeted.

You think Israel intends to wipe out all citizens of Gaza?

You do not have to be 100% successful to commit genocide.

 

[Freddy Figbottom]

HAMAS is not a signatory of the Geneva Convention, Hugo.

but is Geneva conventions really a source for morality?

 

[ZenMode]

You do not have to be 100% successful to commit genocide.

Ok. Simply killing civilians also can't be the only requirement for genocide. If it was, every war would involve genocide.
