How about erring on the side of caution? Instead of waiting for, say, 10% of Palestinians to be dead, and then saying, "OK, definitely genocide now", wouldn't it be better to use the strongest language we have, right now? After all, the purpose isn't to win debates about terminology, it's to save lives by stopping the killing.

i have called for a ceasefire, for i beleive that even if israel wishes to eliminate hamas, this is not the way of doing so, this high intensity fighting will not "defeat" hamas, it just aids its recruitment, so i really cant comprehend, israelis tactical aims, here [which makes israels effort even more dubious, unless they are just acting mindlessly or with malice]...so happy have a stop on this mindless war. Again , as i said before, the word "genocide" at this time i think is just enthusiastically overused.....but if people start to starve in large numbers it might become viable...i think ethnic cleansing is the one to look for , if israel attacks rafah,for i fear many paletinians will not move as israel wants them to, its likely to have large casualties..and many will flee across the border into egypt or race for the sea, with "ethnic cleansing" perhaps being highlighted in the criminal court at the hague if that happens :(
