Surely there's a scale?

Technically, any "killing a member of a group" would be a genocide under this definition.

Even if someone commits a mass murder against a group, we typically call it mass murder or a hate crime -- not genocide.

So there has to be some idea of what genocide is -- what is the scale, what is the intent? Is it to wipe out a people? Or is it something else?

25,000 death is a lot. I'd say its a war crime. An atrocity, perhaps. But a genocide? Against a population of 2 million? Idk. Maybe?

It seems that we have no common definition of the word

There is a very high risk of famine[1] and there is already an extreme food shortage. If the Israelis don't allow more food to enter and open more borders/allow see access a famine is guaranteed. The UN resolution that passed yesterday should prevent that but we have to wait and see if Israel accepts it. IMO starving a population is a genocide.
