    It’s not genocide, it’s ethnic cleansing/stealing land. If all the Palestinians left for some place else, Israel would not pursue them to exterminate them, they’d just steal their land. It’s Palestinian land that Israel is stealing. The Palestinians are just in the way.

      You just described a genocide, like one of the plain text definitions of a genocide. Mass murdering a group of people to steal their land.

      Doesn’t matter that you’ve made up a hypothetical fantasy scenario where they aren’t caged in cornered, but have free movement, it’s still a genocide.

      Oh, and they aren’t free to leave, they are caged and cornered.

      So you’re wrong, and you’re wrong again.

      With all the good will in the world, my friend, you need to look up the definitions of genocide. Pursuing a population to exterminate then is NOT a prerequisite for genocide.
