War does not automatically equate to being a genocide just because people due. Otherwise, every war in history would.be genocide.

There are Arabs & Palestinians that serve in the IDF too and have killed Palestinians. There are other Arabs in Jordan and Syria who have also gone to war against Palestine.

You are using incindiary rhetoric to win an online argument, but your description doesn't fit the facts.

You're literally using the same arguments every genocidal government has used to justify their genocides in history.
