Well good job, now you got some incident we need to get to the next stage.
You have a piece of fact about civilians being shot throughout different periods of time.
You need to research what constitutes a genocidal act, what constitutes a massacre, and finally find out if these incident were or were not conform to the definition.
Apparently there is no consensus among experts regarding this, and I am no expert, but based on what I’ve read any such definitions applied to Israel depend on treating an actively belligerent nation like an ethnic group. I believe this is inappropriate.
The holocaust was a genocide because Germans intended to wipe out an ethnic group. Israel may be killing a lot of Palestinians but they are not trying to collectively destroy Arabs. They are acting in self-defense retaliating against a hostile nation that intends to commit genocide against Jews, (yet again.) If destroying a national group in whole or in part in defense while they are actively trying to kill you is a genocide, that makes just about every defensive military action in history count as genocide.
What I see here is defense against genocidal groups being unfairly and inaccurately described as genocide itself. But again, I am no expert.
