@LesterB99 I don’t love the word either, but the piece is good, and that’s the title Palley chose. Usually I object to the word genocide because it imports normative opprobrium associated with extermination to much lesser crimes. Restrictions of language in education and govt may be unpleasant and may hinder cultural transmission in minority communities, but it’s not extermination. But this, my usual critique of the word, applies less to Israel/Palestine. People are being killed.
