Why would a genocide be their intention?

But it can be the consequence, because they don't care. Then they argue that it isn't a genocide but who are they to decide? The culprit can't decide.

Because genocide definitionally requires intent.

That's exactly what Israel is doing from the POV of the whole world but they disagree.

That's not the pov of the whole world. It's actually contrary to the views of all the major Democratic countries like the us, UK and France.

The countries that claim Israel is committing genocide are mostly authoritarian countries.

That's the POV of most human beings, authoritarian technocrats ruling the West are the few exceptions.
