You cathegorize that as genocide when it is directed at a very specific group. Like jews in WWII, now it is Palestinians in their own country.

No. Here’s the difference between real genocide and appropriation of the term. Genocide is actual when a third of a people is annihilated just because they are not liked. “Genocide” is an appropriated term when the population of the people supposedly “genocides” against actually INCREASES after “genocide”. After said people is warred upon after they attempted a real genocidal annihilation attack on its neighbors. The type of attack they are used doing. The type of attacks that allowed them to grow from a little tribe near Mecca to control most of the Middle East.
