When ethical Jews (1), (2) and most Americans(3) regard the systematic extermination of mainly women and children as a genocide, it's time to put down the Kosher Kool-Aid and smell the coffee. (Sorry about the double metaphors)
During the '73 War, I was in Southern Lebanon living in and around Palestinian refugee camps where I heard the side to the Nakba narrative that is censored by our pro Israel, Western MSM to Western readers who are subjected to only the Israeli narrative.
Over the decades of relentless pro Israel bias and Holocaust exploitation (5) has apparently had the subliminal effect of subtly brainwashing those who are exposed to only one side of the century old Levantine hostilities.
By any measure the indiscriminate bombing of homeless, starving, sick and traumatized refugees can only be called mass murder and the fact that the same land theft and mass murder has been going on for about 100 years can only be called a genocide.
I hope I've provided enough sources to support my point.

“Israel has been explicit about what it’s carrying out in Gaza. Why isn’t the world listening?”
Israel has been explicit about what it’s carrying out in Gaza. Why isn’t the world listening?
jewishcurrents.org
EXCERPTS “Israel’s campaign to displace Gazans—and potentially
expel them altogether into Egypt—is yet another chapter in the Nakba, in which an estimated 750,000 Palestinians were driven from their homes during the 1948 war that led to the creation of the State of Israel. But the assault on Gaza can also be understood in other terms: as a textbook case of genocide unfolding in front of our eyes. I say this as a scholar of genocide, who has spent many years writing about Israeli mass violence against Palestinians. I have written about settler colonialism and
Jewish supremacy in Israel, the distortion of the Holocaust to boost the
Israeli arms industry, the
weaponization of antisemitism accusations to justify Israeli violence against Palestinians, and the racist regime of Israeli
apartheid. “
“Israeli Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant
declared it in no uncertain terms on October 9th: “We are imposing a complete siege on Gaza. No electricity, no food, no water, no fuel. Everything is closed. We are fighting human animals, and we will act accordingly.”
Indeed, Israel’s genocidal assault on Gaza is quite explicit, open, and unashamed. Perpetrators of genocide usually do not express their intentions so clearly,
Israel’s goal is to destroy the Palestinians of Gaza. And those of us watching around the world are derelict in our responsibility to prevent them from doing so.” CONTINUED

EXCERPT “We, Jews Against Genocide, came to Yad Vashem, Israel’s memorial of the genocide committed against Jews, to honor the Palestinian children who are dying in a genocide committed by Jews.
We brought dolls to symbolise the children of Gaza, and tried to bring a glimpse of the horror that Gazan’s face, to Israel’s doorstep. We hope to show Israel, and the world, the absurd reality of using the memory of one genocide to justify another.” CONTINUED

Approval for Israel’s attack on Gaza has plummeted by 14 percent since November.
truthout.org
EXCERPT "New polling finds that the majority of the American public now say that they disapprove of Israel’s genocidal siege of Gaza. Approval of the assault has plummeted over the course of a few months as Israel slaughtered at
least 33,000 Palestinians and continues its destruction of Gaza with impunity.
According to
a Gallup survey conducted last month, 55 percent of Americans say that they disapprove of Israel’s “military action” in Gaza — up from a minority of 45 percent in a November Gallup poll." CONTINUED

http://www.middleeasteye.net/columns/studies-continually-show-strong-pro-israel-bias-western-media-881718416
EXCERPT “Mainstream western media outlets are, by and large, infused with a pro-Israeli ideological bias that colors nearly all mainstream Western reporting on Israel-Palestine.
Israel is assumed to be good, peaceful, and like ‘us’. The Palestinians, meanwhile, are backwards, violent, and foreign. These are the assumptions that most western news outlets start with,... CONTINUED

"Israel is manipulating the memory of the Holocaust ‘as a justification for perpetrating the same in Gaza as a genocide against Palestinians,’ says Holocaust survivor Stephen Kapos"
Israel is manipulating the memory of the Holocaust ‘as a justification for perpetrating the same in Gaza as a genocide against Palestinians,’ says Holocaust survivor Stephen Kapos - Anadolu Ajansı

EXCERPTS. “- Israel has made clear it wants to ‘obliterate Gaza as a place to live at all’ and is now in ‘the last stages of ethnic cleansing by means of genocide,’ Kapos tells Anadolu
- Israel and its supporters want to ‘conflate being Jewish with support for Israel and Zionism’ but that is ‘a lie and complete untruth,’ says Kapos
"LONDON
"Israel is manipulating the memory of the Holocaust as a cover to carry out the same atrocities in Gaza, according to a Holocaust survivor.
Stephen Kapos, an 87-year-old Holocaust survivor from Budapest, believes there is no doubt that Israel is committing a “genocide” in the Gaza Strip.
“I am here because I protest against the use of the memory of the Holocaust as a cover and as a justification for perpetrating the same in Gaza as a genocide against the Palestinian people,” Kapos, who lost most of his family in the Holocaust, told Anadolu at a recent pro-Palestine rally in London.” CONTINUED
