    I already know people like to broaden the term (and ignore the - cide) to serve their own needs. But alas, I’m here to educate, not follow.

      Please educate the 1948 UN delegates.

      Your fight is with the dictionary, not with me

        Both the dictionary and the UN already agree with me

        noun the deliberate and systematic extermination of a national, racial, political, or cultural group.

        https://www.dictionary.com/browse/genocide

        To constitute genocide, there must be a proven intent on the part of perpetrators to physically destroy a national, ethnical, racial or religious group. Cultural destruction does not suffice, nor does an intention to simply disperse a group.

          Please see the genocide scholar article linked elsewhere in this discussion for the real argument as to why the Israeli government actions constitute genocide

          Ethnic cleansing is component of genocide
