Then why is this selectively applied to Israel? Turkey is doing (a), (b), (c) to Kurds right now, where are the scholars? It is such an open ended definition that it could be applied to almost any conflict.
I don't think it's just Israel, this gets called out pretty regularly if you pay attention. Like, a whole new term "ethnic cleansing" was invented in the 1990s to justify inaction during the collapse of Yugoslavia.
I care more about what's happening in Israel/Palestine (the West Bank is basically another war zone) because I'm irish and what's happening in Israel/Palestine is incredibly reminiscent of what happened to irish catholics from about 1600-1900, and also because I know a _lot_ of Israeli citizens (and many of them hang out here) so I'm hopeful that speaking out will make a difference.
But honestly, this has been getting worse since the 90s and at this point, I can't see any peace process ever happening. Like, either all the Israelis kill the Palestinians or vice versa (or climate change makes the region uninhabitable). It's profoundly depressing, particularly given that the reason there are laws against genocide is because of what happened to Jewish people (and slavs and gay people etc) during WW2.
