People say Stalin committed genocide by moving entire cultural groups out of their land into other places. If that's enough, which it actually is, then yes, that is what Israel is doing.
I think many definitions of genocide include ethnic cleansing within it. It's a form of cultural genocide, to remove people from their homes and relocate to another, foreign place. It's not specific in the UN definition, but that's not the only one.
Good point though, I just mean that if people are going to rag on Joey Stalin, then its the same thing they should be criticizing Israel of.
You can't do mass forced deportations without inflicting genocide. The act of moving that many people causes death, culture loss, and hinders the ability to reproduce. And this isn't even counting the fact that for many cultures place is important to their sense of self and identity.

That's ethnic cleansing, not genocide. Unless a large number of them died in the process like the Trail of Tears of course.

Still a crime against humanity
