Genocide is the act of killing or destroying, as a whole or as a part, ethnic, racial, religious or national groups of people through killing members of the group, causing them serious bodily or mental harm, imposing living conditions intended to destroy the group, preventing births, and forcibly transferring children out of the group.

Israel is 1) forcing members of the group (Palestinians) to move away from their own territory without concern about where they will end up, 2) killing them indiscriminately, 3) cutting of their resources indiscriminately leading to people dying.

The hard part of legally proving genocide is often the intent to destroy a group of people. Israel is circumventing this by saying they are ‘trying to target Gaza’ instead of indiscriminately killing everything that moves.
