The guy who coined the term, drafted the UN convention on Genocide. It includes the Definition of genocide:

Article 2 of the Convention defines genocide as:

    ... any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:

        (a) Killing members of the group;
        (b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
        (c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
        (d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
        (e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.
— Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, Article 2

Israel is doing (a), (b), (c), (e) and arguably (d).

It is genocide. By definition. A definition written by a Jew and a Zionist, too, if that matters.
