'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. ' [1]
Israel is functionally commiting genocide, after being an apartheid state for decades. Arguably their goal is ethnic cleansing, and mass murder is a means to that end.

If I see your house, miles from any military installation, and I destroy it in order to kill you, and I do that over and over and over, that is genocide.
In both cases, the house is destroyed. In one case, your life is saved.
