By the standards applied to Israel, all sides were committing “genocide”s during WWII, and at any other major war past and future.
War isn’t nice, and innocent people dying doesn’t make it a genocide. The term is being diluted to just mean “war with many casualties”.
Equating Israel’s war with Gaza to the Holocaust is an attempt to simultaneously belittle the historic suffering of the Jews while exaggerating the evils of Israel. The two situations have nothing in common.
