It would seem to imply that wouldn't it, but it doesn't actually when you think about it. After all, the holocaust would still have been a genocide EVEN IF 6 million Jewish people were also born during world war 2. I'm glad I could help you through this misunderstanding!

So once again, the birth rate is not at issue, has no bearing, and in fact has nothing to do with the definition of Genocide. It's not the birth rate, thats not a thing, that has never been a thing, it does not and never has been a part of the definition of genocide.

It has nothing, nothing, nothing, to do with the birth rate. I hope I have stated that clearly and politely :D

You're confused about what a genocide is. Yes, birth rate is defined in the phrase. Since the destruction of the group is the end goal, if they're growing, then you are not doing a great job a genocide.

SInce Israel does not have the goal of destroying the Palestinians, it isn't genocide. It isn't by definition, no matter how much you want to pretend it is. ]

It is nothing more than self-defense from the the attack from the Palestinians. If they stopped attacking Israel, then Israel wouldn't attack them.

Hey good news wintermute! The UN are currently calling on the international community to declare the events in Palestine as a Genocide! Here is a link:

Also, I checked the wikipedia article for the phrase "Birth Rate" and it does not come up. In fact the only mention of birth is that an addition definition for genocide is the prevention of births, however it is not a necessary action to meet the definition of the word Genocide.

Genocide can take many forms, and CANNOT, IN ANY WAY, AT ALL, EVER, be counteracted by the rate of new births. That is not a thing and has never been a thing. Can you please provide me any literature that claims that the increase in births has any bearing on whether an action can be viewed as a Genocide?
