No Palestinian genocide without a doubt. The population is doubling in ten years.
Who mentioned genocide? You mentioned herding populations into areas of confinement. That is essentially what occurred when people fled or were driven from their homes during the Nakba. Zionists began squatting on their land and built settlements and towns on top of Palestinian villages (Sderot is one example of this), leaving much of the displaced population with few options apart from remaining in Gaza. Of course, now the Zionists would prevent them from leaving Gaza even if they managed to scape together the resources necessary to do so. But that isn't likely to happen as long as their economy is being destroyed by unnecessary blockades and they're intermittently forced to endure massacres perpetrated under the pretense of "fighting terrorism." No, collective punishment is not genocide. Dehumanization is not genocide.
There is no comparison to what is happening in Gaza and any form of Genocide against the Palestinian people.
Operation cast lead was meant to show Hamas that they are not as strong as they believe they are. Israel wiped the floor with them in a matter of days suffering minimal damage. Operation cast lead was directed toward Hamas a recognized terrorist group, it was not directed at the Palestinian people, therefore there was no intent to kill a national group and no genocide!
Case closed.
Right, case closed. Pay no attention to the fact that the methods used by the Zionists were indiscriminate and resulted in far more civilian deaths than anything else. Israel cannot be held accountable for her actions; she's "chosen", after all. Most of those Palestinian children they killed were going to grow up to be terrorists anyway, yes? Best to get them when they can't fight back.

Not guilty! The chosen are blameless.
