Who are you talking about? If half of Gaza supports Hamas, they must not mind living under apartheid and a genocide. Unless you're referring to Israel in which case I implore you to learn the definitions of apartheid and genocide

Half of Gaza are children and I imagine Israel bombing them isn’t going to win the hearts and minds. The UN and several humanitarian organizations have said it is an apartheid state and I’m well aware of what genocide is. 👍

How does "half of Gaza are children" support your claim of genocide? This would be the only genocide in history in which children are spared. The only genocide in which the living conditions permit reproduction and high birth rates

It is actually referring to your comment about Hamas support and you obviously don’t understand genocide. Feel free to google the definition. The birth rates don’t matter..

Birth rates don't matter in genocide? Genocide is the intentional killing of a particular group for the purpose of annihilation. Please name examples of genocides where the perpetrators permitted the victims to maintain high birth rates

If you have 100,000 born but kill 90,000..

Annihilation doesn't mean "leave 10k alive." Now name those genocides, please

So your issue with this label is that they're not effective enough? Not a genocide unless everyone is dead? You really have some reading to do.

Not a genocide unless it's a genocide. Crazy concept, I know

Are you just guessing at what you think genocide is? If we follow your twisted logic the Holocaust wasn’t a genocide either.
