If this was supposed to be a genocide, then someone has seriously fucked up because the "Palestinian" population has multiplied many times over since 1948, right up to recent years.

Look up the definition of "genocide" since you're clearly unfamiliar with it. But nice try defending violence backed up explicitly genocidal statements made by Yoav Gallant and plenty of other Israelis. These are well-documented by South Africa in its petition to the ICJ more than a year ago.
Oh no, I am not the one who is misusing this gravely serious word.
I didn't defend any violence - take a few deep breaths and re-read my comment. I merely pointed out that the "Palestinian" population is larger than ever, after 80 years of this "genocide."
Calling the word "genocide" a "leftist buzzword" says all one needs to know about you and your concern for human life. Listing people who've lived and worked in the Middle East and written books about the situation, some of whom are actual Israelis, is not mere "name-dropping" because you don't like their views. I can't imagine what you know about winning an argument.
The Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (CPPCG), or the Genocide Convention, is an international treaty that criminalizes genocide and obligates state parties to pursue the enforcement of its prohibition. It was the first legal instrument to codify genocide as a crime and the first human rights treaty unanimously adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on 9 December 1948, during the third session of the United Nations General Assembly.[1] The Convention entered into force on 12 January 1951 and has 153 state parties as of February 2025.[2]
The Convention defines genocide as any of five "acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group." These five acts include killing members of the group, causing them serious bodily or mental harm, imposing living conditions intended to destroy the group, preventing births, and forcibly transferring children out of the group. Victims are targeted because of their real or perceived membership of a group, not randomly.[6] The convention further criminalizes "complicity, attempt, or incitement of its commission." Member states are prohibited from engaging in genocide and obligated to pursue the enforcement of this prohibition. All perpetrators are to be tried regardless of whether they are private individuals, public officials, or political leaders with sovereign immunity.
"Any of five," meaning not all of them but any one of them, though of course multiple acts may be committed together. Both meet the definition.
If the definition of genocide is "acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group" then Hamas committed genocide on October 7.
Look up the Genocide Convention written in response to the Nazi holocaust, and look up the voluminous documentation provided by South Africa in its petition to find Israel guilty of genocide as presented to the ICJ.

Then you don't understand the definition of "genocide." Look it up and get back to me.
Name dropping authors, insults, profanity and using the latest leftist buzzword Genocide are not means to winning an argument.

Try a real dictionary.

Genocide is a concerted plan to exterminate a race , there is zero evidence Israel has done that
