[byzantium]

I would ask the people of Gaza their opinion on the matter but they are too busy being systematically starved by the Israelis or if lucky bombed to death with American weapons to worry about my questions.

War Crimes. 
 

There's a pretty well established convention for adjudicating a wide range of War Crimes. 

 

Here are some relevant ones:

• Deliberate Attacks on Civilians: Prohibited under Article 51 of the Additional Protocol I to the Geneva Conventions.
• Indiscriminate Use of Weapons: Addressed by the Geneva Conventions and the Hague Conventions, as well as specific treaties like the Convention on Cluster Munitions.
• Murder and Torture of Prisoners of War: Prohibited under the Third Geneva Convention.
• Forced Deportation or Transfer of Populations: Covered under the Fourth Geneva Convention.
• Hostage-Taking: Prohibited by Article 34 of the Fourth Geneva Convention.
• Use of Child Soldiers: Addressed by the Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of the Child on the involvement of children in armed conflict.
• Destruction of Cultural Property: Prohibited by the Hague Convention for the Protection of Cultural Property in the Event of Armed Conflict.
• Blockades Causing Starvation: Addressed under Article 54 of Additional Protocol I to the Geneva Conventions.
• Rape and Sexual Violence: Prohibited under Article 27 of the Fourth Geneva Convention and the Rome Statute of the ICC.
• Unlawful Requisition or Looting: Addressed by Article 33 of the Fourth Geneva Convention.

Genocide is a very specific thing. And calling every war with civilians casualties one dilutes the meaning of the word.
