19. GENOCIDE (18 U.S.C. 1091)
"Section 1091 of Title 18, United States Code, prohibits genocide whether committed
in time of peace or time of war.
Genocide is defined in § 1091 and includes violent attacks with the specific intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group. There is Federal jurisdiction if the offense is committed within the United States. There is also Federal extraterritorial jurisdiction when the offender is a national of the United States."
According to the US definition it looks like it fits. Israel admitted it wasn't concerned about precision but with widespread damage.
Article II of the Genocide Convention:
"Genocide means 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."
The US has ratified the same standards as Article II of the Genocide Convention which is why it's essentially verbatim. It doesn't look good for Israel if these are the objective measures to base genocide off of.
Please make note that it doesn't matter if violations are done in time of peace or war, genocide is still given the same objective measures.
