Is this turning into genocide?

Details are emerging of other incidents in which civilians were killed. A U.N. agency said Israeli troops evacuated Palestinian civilians to a house in Gaza City on Jan. 4, then shelled the building 24 hours later, killing 30 people. This is days after bombing the UN School they were given coordinates too, so that it would not be hit, and days after killing the UN Aid workers bringing in supplies in a properly marked truck. Does anyone else find this, just wrong??

Update:

If this were all the other way around, let us say Hamas and maybe Hezbollah invading Israel, then would people try and stop it?

Update 2:

Dan, that would be fine and dandy, but what you are not understanding, is that Palestinians did not just start all of this. If want to say they brough it on themselves, I could say the same of Israel.

    It was always a genocide.

    Source(s): 1.5 million Palestinians have been killed since 1948.

    Yes, it is. Hamas wants to wipe the entire country of Israel and all Jews off the face of the Earth; that is genocide. Israel only wants to stop the terrorists attacking it; that is self defense. If Hamas would stop sending rockets into civilian targets, Israel would have no reason to defend themselves. All Israel wants is to be left alone.

    I believe the UN definition of genocide is at least 25,000 dead. (Or, this is what they stated when they came up with an excuse not to interfere with Rwanda).

    They are calling for a cease fire now and Hamas has refused to accept the Cease Fire (although everyone is screaming because the Israelis have also rejected it).

    If Hamas is so concerned about innocent women and children, why didn't they accept the terms of the cease fire?

    Israel may be demonstrating questionable judgment in their targeting practices, but Hamas continues to diminish the value of their own citizens by encouraging the attack and firing rockets despite the calls for a cease fire. Don't you think that seems strange?

    Oh,come on,stop this pathetic crap.UN,after seeng the photos of how it happened, has already recognized that the arabs in Gaza did use the UN schools to launch mortars on Israeli soldiers.And UN does not even claim any compensaton,because ,according to the UN Charter,the UN is responsible fo the use of its buildings in the area of a military conflict.

    Also,the UN investigation team came to the conclusion that the UN workers were killed by snipers shots coming from Gaza,and not by the tank shell as the arabs claimed it.

    So,take your "genocide" and "murder" lies-and stick the into the place where they fit best.

    It seems that Israel will not turn away from war to peace and the world has spoke. Israel: If you will not turn away as asked then the world should turn away from hearing your words. Palestine and Israel should be left out of the ear, heart and mind of the world and let them both see through the night of their ways. In my opinion When the ear is deaf the heart is dumb and so are the two.

    What is genocide?

    “Genocide is the organized attempt to deliberately and systematically destroy, in whole or in part, an ethnic, racial, religious, or national group”

    HAMAS is the one claiming that all Jews, Americans and other nations should be wiped out, not Israel.

    Israel is defending itself, after 8 years of missiles over its territory.

    Why doesn’t anybody know that there were only 7 killed? The number “40” was given by the Palestinians, and after checking, it was 7.

    The definition of genocide is not "mass killing or murder of a terrorist group".

    Source(s): The guy above me is an idiot. About 600 Hamas members have been killed, and when you join a terrorist group you are no longer an innocent "civilian".
