Do you use the same logic for the Uyghur genocide?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genocide_Convention

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, ethnic, 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.

A, and B would make literally every war in existence a genocide, there are stipulations to those two. The other three just aren't happening. Thanks for proving my point?

"The current birth rate for Palestine in 2024 is 26.747 births per 1000 people, a 1.61% decline from 2023. The birth rate for Palestine in 2023 was 27.185 births per 1000 people, a 1.62% decline from 2022. The birth rate for Palestine in 2022 was 27.633 births per 1000 people, a 1.6% decline from 2021."

Still having children at a decent rate, given it's an active warzone.

Children are not being forcibly transferred like Russia is doing in Ukraine.

And if c. were true, the death toll would be far higher, and there just wouldn't be any humanitarian aid, or safe routes, or anything of the such at all.

So... wrong again?
