I don't think you know the meaning of the word genocide. I have my own issues with Israel's support for the settler occupation of West Bank, but in no may is Israel committing a genocide. The population nearly multiplied multiple folds since 1948. Israeli government fortunately has no will for a genocide of any people though they have the capability to commit one, while on the other hand you have the Nazis 2.0 who want to repeat the Holocaust but are incapable of repeating it for Israel is way too stronger than all their allies and themselves put together. If the shoe was on the other foot, there would be no jews in the middle east as the supposed peace partners of Israel themselves openly say they want to push the jews to the sea.
What Israel is doing absolutely fits the definition of a genocide https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/oct/31/un-official-resigns-israel-hamas-war-palestine-new-york
UN is a fucking joke, they could not bring themselves to even condemn the massacre on Oct 7th. It's stupid to take that organization even remotely seriously.
And, if your population multiplies every few decades, it's stupid to suggest that there is a genocide going on. Israel doesn't want a genocide and those who want one fortunately don't have a nuclear weapon yet (I am not sure what Pakistan thinks abt this topic, but I am leaving them out of this)
Here's a Jewish historian with a PhD explaining what's going on if you don't trust the UN https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJkgzcRae3w
