    They are 2 million in gaza. Hamas (oh so trustworthy source…) says Israel killed over 30000 thousand.

    That’s 1.5%.

    Palestinians are near extinction I tell you!

      It’s about the intent

      the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group

      That’s still a large number of people, and we don’t have to wait until it’s a significant percentage of them to call it a genocide. Make up your own word if you mean something else, this is genocide (successful or not and the extent of it is left to be seen).
