Per the UN Genocide Convention, which defines genocide not just in the totalistic sense (as practiced by Nazi Germany for example) but as "acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group".

It isn't simply a matter of body counts (though I disagree with your spin on them). Israel's obvious intent to render Gaza to be basically uninhabitable, and to encourage what it coldly refers to as a "voluntary transfer" of its population; combined with its accelerated strangulation of the West Bank since the start of these activities, are what place its actions squarely within the scope of this definition.

I’m saying that they think so because our adversaries propaganda has been incredibly effective.

No, it's because they read and understand the above definition, and have been observing Israel's long-term game plan (particularly since 1967).

And have successfully immunized themselves against its own relentless and insidiously toxic propaganda machine.
