This is 100% meeting the definition of genocide, so we are not using this word because we "love it", we are using it because it's the correct word to use. That's what words are for.

And not every war is genocide, but this one is, because it fits the definition of genocide. That's how words work. Oh, and it also has a wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaza_genocide https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaza_genocide. Also, OJ did it.
