The point is that what you are describing is not genocide. "The legal term “genocide” refers to certain acts committed with the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group." Israel does not do that. Russia does do that to the Ukrainians. Putin thinks Ukraine is not a real nation and he thinks the Ukrainians are not a separate genus. That is why Ukrainian children are getting indoctrinated in the occupied territories and the Ukrainian language getting suppressed.
Does that mean that Ukrainian civilians are worse off than Palestinians?
No, obviously not.
Israel is guilty of many crimes and many of them are worse than some forms of genocide.
Words have meaning and you are offering the Israeli apologetics an easy way out arguing semantics and the easy way is that they are right.

Israel does not do that. Israel "does not do that" only if you ignore remarks by IDF members, MKs and the Prime Minister himself explicitly saying they are doing that.
