It is not genocide until it is called genocide, or at least this is what the people in the west apparently think. Otherwise one would expect orders of magnitude more of indignation and outcry.

In Israeli schools (I was in one of them) history teachers liked to pose the question: "how it was possible that such horror (genocide of the European jews) took place, and the world stayed silent?"

Well, today this question can be studied first hand.

If you think those situations are even remotely similar, something went horribly wrong for you at that school.
(My comments get hidden, trying to reply again.)

Have you heard Netanyahu saying right after 7th October "We are also the nation of Joshua"? The references to "Amalek" (not by him personally perhaps)? Do you think Israelis did not understand what he meant? The citation by Netanyahu from Byalik "the revenge for the blood of a little child was not yet created by the Satan", then going on with killing of many thousands of palestinian infants (obviously these are not little children in his and his likes world).

And there is of course so much more..
