*sigh*
Ok we'll do this again. Here's a list of (respected) people and organisations who do say it's a genocide. This collection of experts includes holocaust survivors, scholars, Israeli historians, doctors who have been in Gaza, and more:
Amnesty International - "Amnesty International investigation concludes Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza"
Link
UN Special Committee - "UN Special Committee finds Israel’s warfare methods in Gaza consistent with genocide, including use of starvation as weapon of war"
Link
Amos Goldberg, professor of Holocaust History at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem - "Yes, it is genocide"
Link
Daniel Blatman, Israeli Historian - "This is precisely what genocide looks like"
Link
Doctors Against Genocide - "Canadian Doctors Returning from Gaza Call for an End to Canada’s Complicity in Genocide"
Link
Human Rights Watch - "Israel’s Crime of Extermination, Acts of Genocide in Gaza"
Link
Renowned genocide and Holocaust researchers from six countries (including Israel) - ""Can I name someone whose work I respect who does not think it is genocide? No, there is no counterargument that takes into account all the evidence," Israeli researcher Raz Segal told NRC."
Link
Stephen Kapos, Holocaust survivor - "We Jews who survived all this pain, killings, humiliation and destruction are against the use of the memory of the Holocaust by the Government of Israel as cover and justification for the ongoing genocide against the Palestinian people in Gaza and the West Bank"
Link
EU’s former top diplomat Josep Borrell - "We’re facing the largest ethnic cleansing operation since the end of the second world war in order to create a splendid holiday destination once all the millions of tonnes of rubble have been cleared from Gaza and the Palestinians have died or gone away"
Link
More holocaust survivors - "We must raise our collective voices and use our collective power to bring about an end to all forms of racism, including the ongoing genocide of Palestinian people."

There are databases logging the genocidal rhetoric
here . Some examples:
Yoav Gallant (Minister of Defense) -“I have ordered a complete siege on the Gaza Strip. There will be no electricity, no food, no fuel, everything is closed,” “We are fighting human animals and we are acting accordingly"
Isaac Herzog (President) - "“It’s an entire nation out there that is responsible. This rhetoric about civilians not aware, not involved, it’s absolutely not true." Also ""There are no innocent civilians in Gaza""
It was actually being debated as to whether this is a genocide as early as October 2023 - 800+ Legal Scholars - "As scholars and practitioners of international law, conflict studies, and genocide studies, we are compelled to sound the alarm about the possibility of the crime of genocide being perpetrated by Israeli forces against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip"

Let's have a little reminder as to what israel has done and what we've lived through since then:
Murdered 20,000 kids, with total official deaths around 55,000 people, but with Doctors on the ground and the Lancet saying that this number is actually in the hundreds of thousands
Bombing schools
Bombing hospitals
Bombing places of worship
Dropping White phosphorus on civilians
Gang raping prisoners
Protesting for the right to rape prisoners
Having prisoners rapists on tv
Singing songs about raping and killing Palestinian women and children
Shooting toddlers multiple times in the head
Dressing up in clothes from families they've just killed
Running over people in tanks and bulldozers
Burning people alive
Burning olive trees
Pouring concrete down wells
Poisoning animals
Attacking disabled people with dogs
Chasing after 4 year olds and breaking their arms and legs
Using bulldozers to block ambulances
Shooting diplomats and irish peacekeepers
Banning journalists
Executing 15 red crescent workers, burying them with bulldozers, lying that they were a threat but forgetting to take a red. Crescent workers phone which then proves that e earthing that you lied about was indeed bullshit
Using 80 year old man as a human shield with a bomb tied around his neck and then then killing him and his wife anyway
Killing 11 year old influencers
Shooting old women walking the street with their 5 year old grandson whilst waving a white flag
Genocide tourism (Boat rides and viewing points to watch the bombs drop on Gaza)
Referring to palestinian babies as terrorists
Blocking aid trucks
Killing a doctors 9 children
Leaving babies in incubators to die
"Where's daddy" - AI that targets palestinians families at their homes and murders them
Creating largest cohort of child amputees in the world
Turning distribution of food into squid game
Bulldozing cemeteries
Flying drones playing the sound of children crying to lure people out and then shooting them
Starving babies to death because they wont allow baby formula in
Creating a new acronym - "WCNSF (Wounded Child, No Surviving Family). Thousands, possibly tens of thousands of children fall into this category
To say "but if there was intent it'd be ten times that number", after all this, is an absolutely fucking disgusting thing to say.
People need to realise what we're dealing with here. This isn't some petty internet argument, we are living through the first ever live streamed genocide. How people behave and what they did during this genocide will be remembered forever. People's children will ask them what they did during this period.
The Israel lobby ensures that our media and politicians are complicit in this genocide. We as a country provide assistance and intelligence to the israeli forces to commit daily war crimes, which makes the UK active participants in this genocide.
Those who had the bollocks to speak up during this genocide, like Bob Vylan, will be remembered kindly. The cowards who have stayed silent throughout this genocide, despite knowing that we're supposed to speak up against this, and that never again was supposed to mean never again for everyone, will have to live with the shame for the rest of their lives, and everyone will remember what cowards they were. As for those who are still denying this genocide (and effectively continuing to enable it), well, we'll see how that pans out for you.
