Please show us the source where that is an accepted definition.Intent to cause death of a specific group of people, with the intent to destroy said group in whole or in part is genocide. Retaliatory attacks against a state are not. October 7 was a retaliatory attack against the state of Israel.
You just made that up. You have nothing to use as a citation.
And if you want to use that, it means that Israel is totally justified to their response because every single person agrees that the invasion of Gaza is nothing more than retaliation for Oct.7, but not genocide.
It sounds like you're ready to put those pretzels in the oven.
