No, we didn't try. We did commit genocide against our indigenous people. Arguably we still are. Genocide does not require the wholesale destruction of a people.

Are you suggesting that the Palestinian people are not a national, ethnical, racial or religious group? Or did you just bold some words you don't understand? Also would you care to explain how I don't understand the parts I bolded? Israel has historically conducted a campaign of violent displacement of the Palestinian people. They've murdered them, removed them from their homes, and placed them in ghettos that Israel exercises a great deal of economic control over leading to massive rates of poverty and low access to necessary resources. You're supporting a state that has and is committing genocide.
Funny how you specify that there are no settlements in Gaza. Is there maybe another Palestinian territory with Israeli settlements that you're conveniently forgetting to mention?
And yeah, that's exactly how Israel's territory expanded.

According to the UN Office on Genocide Prevention and the Responsibility to Protect a genocide does not require the intended destruction of an entire people. It also doesn't require a concentrated, physical attack against a people to qualify for genocide.
From their site here: [https://www.un.org/en/genocideprevention/genocide.shtml]
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:
Killing members of the group;
Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.
(Emphasis mine)
Ever since Israel was re-establishee in the wake of WWII, they have grown their borders by violently pushing the Palestinian people out of their homes until now there are only two small territories in which Israel has continued to illegally displace the local Palestinian people and create Israeli settlements. Now Israel is shelling one of those settlements to smithereens and moving in ground troops to occupy the land. They are committing genocide, they have been committing genocide for decades, and they won't be satisfied until the last vestiges of Palestinian land has been assimilated into their borders.
As someone who is a little bit more interested in the story, I would love it if games had better story recaps for when you put the game down for extended periods of time too. If it's a game with player choice track the major choices the player makes as well. I restart games so much because I like to jump around between games and then when I get back to some I can't remember enough about what was happening to have any investment in the story anymore.
It'll definitely be interesting to see how MS treats Blizz's ongoing IPs. There's definitely opportunity to improve things there with Diablo 4 not keeping people's attention and OW2... being OW2.
I saw someone mention somewhere that Unity has an open CEO position...
I think post game content should still be important, but the common design of having players rush through leveling content so they can run hamster wheel content at max level is terrible. I really wish the whole game was the game, not just the stuff you do after the mind numbingly easy leveling.
