UN convention on Genocide: "Genocide is the intentional destruction of a people[a] in whole or in part." I think it's reasonable to argue that applies to Istael's treatment of Palestine.
I don't it's reasonable at all. It's only seems reasonable if all your information about Israel from propaganda memes like this. If you actually think about this means and look into Israel's policies, you'll see that it's very hard to make the case that Israel is committing genocide. This conflict is very complex and nuanced, and you can't brush away something you don't like by labeling it genocide. That term doesn't apply here at all. The only place in this conflict where genocide does apply is to terrorist groups like Hamas who want to genocide Jews as their goal or to the fundamentalist Jews who want to do the same but for muslims.
