Pretty sure they were talking about genocide in general, not just one genocide.

Genocide is a constant, ongoing foundation of capitalism, colonialism, etc. Sometimes it happens in Europe, sometimes in Palestine... Sometimes they genocide almost all of the inhabitants of USA, Australia, etc.

I'm confused by this comment. Can you explain what you mean by "Genocide is a constant, ongoing foundation of capitalism, colonialism"?

I don't understand what you mean, and my attempts to interpret it lead me to silly conclusions which I doubt are what you're trying to communicate here.

From what I understand, "genocide" refers to the eradication of a people or culture. This includes things like killing all Jews/Palestinians (e.g. Nazis and Israelis), imprisoning and "re-educating" an entire ethnic group (like the Chinese are doing to the Uyghurs), and much more.

Colonialism very easily falls into that definition, but I struggle to see how captialism does.
