is this genocide?
They've been doing genocide stuff since the beginning, yeah
No, it is not.
What it is: the violation of article 51 of Protocol I to the Geneva Conventions. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protocol_I_to_the_Geneva_Conventions?wprov=sfla1
Genocide would be: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genocide_Convention#Definition_of_genocide%3Fwprov=sfla1
Not every cruel and unlawful attack is genocide. It is not helpful to confuse those terms.
How is this not: (a) Killing members of the group; (b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; (c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;?
Not mentioning on the occupied territories: (e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group;
Waste of ammo, on top of everything else.
