Netanyahu may not last, Biden and aides increasingly believe
www.politico.com
The Israeli prime minister’s political obituary has been written before. But U.S. officials are already gauging potential successors.

Highlights: Joe Biden and top aides have discussed the likelihood that Benjamin Netanyahu’s political days are numbered — and the president has conveyed that sentiment to the Israeli prime minister in a recent conversation.

Biden has gone so far as to suggest to Netanyahu that he should think about lessons he would share with his eventual successor, the two administration officials added.

    It seems you are the one who doesn't understand the term. There's a very specific definition for it established by the UN: https://www.un.org/en/genocideprevention/genocide.shtml

    Namely:

    In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:

    Killing members of the group;

    Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;

    Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;

    Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;

    Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group

    Nowhere does it say every member of the population needs to be murdered. And Israel is very clearly checking the first three boxes at the very least.
