President Joe Biden said Tuesday Israel’s prime minister needs to change his hardline government and support for the country’s military campaign is waning amid heavy bombardment of Gaza. … “This is the most conservative government in Israel’s history,” Biden said, adding that the Israeli government “doesn’t want a two-state solution.”
It’s mind-blowing how thoroughly Netanyahu has bungled this. They had damn near the entire world in full support after Hamas’ horrific attack on Israeli civilians, and they’ve managed to lose it.
Have you actually checked the meaning of “genocide”?

I am not aware of the five ways. May you list them, please?

Okay, so the general issue with calling this a genocide would be that Israel does not systematically kill Palestinian civilians. There are no detention camps, they don’t purposefully bomb Palestinians with the aim of killing as many civilians as possible. Whilst I believe Israel can potentially do more to protect civilians, their main aim is not to destroy Palestinian population. At least that’s been the case of the last 70+ years.
Also, based purely on numbers, there are no signs of elimination attempt.
The most debatable point could be C but the result of terrible life quality of Gazans is mostly presence of Hamas because Israel lets money in and even supported Hamas (which is quite funny)

To be completely fair, if they’re in the U.S., the amount of propaganda flying around coupled with the complete lack of history being taught about the issue is more than enough to leave the average person unaware of these genocidal actions.
