Anybody that's unwilling to give material aid for a genocide would be a good start.

It is bad in Gaza and I agree with Bernie that Biden should stop funding Israel however the hyperbole of "genocide" is devaluing the word.

Interesting that the chart starts in 1948. It seems to miss that immediately prior 80% of Palestinians were forcibly removed from their lands and/or massacres by Zionist settler militias.

Next you’ll tell me that the population swap between Greece and Turkey was a genocide too, considering how you count the migrations of Jews that occurred after Zionists murdered and purged as many Arabs as they could from Palestine.

The conflict has existed longer than the Israeli state and ignoring that time period only obfuscates the reality of the situation.
