        In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:

        1. Killing members of the group;
        2. Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
        3. Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
        4. Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
        5. Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

        That’s directly from the UNs genocide convention.

          So pretty much everything that happens in the area between the river and the sea is a genocide, including everything Hamas does. I think this dilutes the meaning of the word somewhat, and especially makes it practically impossible to condemn anybody of it in this particular conflict.
