Probably because they're not? Demonstrably so, as already stated?
Deaths alone, even in mass numbers, don't rise to the bar of 'genocide'. Especially when those dying are from the population that instigated the conflict in which they're dying.
Except we have Israeli officials openly stating their goals of ethnically cleansing the palestinians. Their military doctrine specifically instructs their armed forces to target civilian infrastructure as a means to terrorize the civilian population into submission. And we have the fact that Palestinians went from making up the ethnic majority in Palestine to being reduced to 20% of the population.
We have proven intent and proven systematic killings. Taking the Srebrenica case as a legal precedent, Israel is committing a Genocide in Gaza.
Especially when those dying are from the population that instigated the conflict in which they're dying
Except it werent the Palestinians which instigated the conflict but zionist settlers who sought to colonize and establish their own ethnostate
Zionists themselves are pretty aware of such realities:
"In both countries important experiments in colonization have been made, though on the mistaken principle of a gradual infiltration of Jews. An infiltration is bound to end badly. It continues till the inevitable moment when the native population feels itself threatened, and forces the Government to stop a further influx of Jews"
-Theodor Herzl, "The Jewish State"
"In Lord Cromer's opinion, the most important question was that of the rights which Herzl expected for the projected settlement. He wrote: "In your letter of the 12th ult. you remark that you will become great and promising
by the granting of this right of colonization. Your letter does not make clear what is to be understood by these words, and what kind of rights the colonists will expect."
"There is no justification for such a belief. It may be that some individual Arabs take bribes. But that does not mean that the Arab people of Palestine as a whole will sell that fervent patriotism that they guard so jealously, and which even the Papuans will never sell.
Every native population in the world resists colonists as long as it has the slightest hope of being able to rid itself of the danger of being colonised."
"We cannot offer any adequate compensation to the Palestinian Arabs in return for Palestine. And therefore, there is no likelihood of any voluntary agreement being reached. So that all those who regard such an agreement as a condition sine qua non for Zionism may as well say "non" and withdraw from Zionism."
"
Zionist colonisation must either stop, or else proceed regardless of the native population. Which means that it can proceed and develop only under the protection of a power that is independent of the native population – behind an iron wall, which the native population cannot breach."
"iron law of every colonizing movement, a law which knows of no exceptions, a law which existed in all times and under all circumstances.
If you wish to colonize a land in which people are already living, you must provide a garrison on your behalf. Or else – or else, give up your colonization, for without an armed force which will render physically impossible any attempts to destroy or prevent this colonization, colonization is impossible, not “difficult”, not “dangerous” but IMPOSSIBLE! ...
Zionism is a colonizing adventure and therefore it stands or falls by the question of armed force. It is important to build, it is important to speak Hebrew, but, unfortunately, it is even more important to be able to shoot – or else I am through with playing at colonialization"
-Vladimir Jabotinsky, "The Iron Wall"
"He told the Jewish Agency Executive, shortly after he met Cunningham: ‘I believe the majority of the Palestinian masses accept the partition as a fait accompli and do not believe it is possible to overcome or reject it ...
The decisive majority of them do not want to fight us."
"In the area allocated to the Jewish state there are not more than 520,000 Jews and about 350,000 non-Jews, mostly Arabs. Together with the Jews of Jerusalem, the total population of the Jewish state at the time of its establishment, will be about a million,
including almost 40 percent non-Jews.
Such a [population] composition does not provide a stable basis for a Jewish state. This [demographic] fact must be viewed in all its clarity and acuteness. With such a [population] composition, there cannot even be absolute certainty that control will remain in the hands of the Jewish majority.... There can be no stable and strong Jewish state so long as it has a Jewish majority of only 60 percent"
-David Ben-Gurion
"Throughout the journey my reflections were focused on that plan, about which l have been thinking for years; the plan...of evacuating the country for us. I know the difficulties...but only through population transfer will redemption come....There is no room for us with our neighbours...development is a very slow process ...
.They [the Arabs] are too many and too much rooted [in the country]...
the only way is to cut and eradicate them from the roots.
(..) We will set up an apparatus from the Yishuv manned by distinguished experts and these will supervise the Arab transfer and resettlement and a second apparatus will receive the [Jewish] “redeemers" and plant them on the land."
-Yosef Weitz
