This is indeed a big obstacle to credibly calling the Israel-Palestine conflict a genocide. Germany lost ~10% of it's population in WW2. France lost 4% in WW1. Less than 1% of the Palestinian has been killed since Oct 7.
Heck, the US Revolutionary war saw the British perpetrated genocide against the Colonists if the military actions following Oct 7 count as a genocide.
> Germany lost ~10% of it's population in WW2.
75% of those were military deaths, 25% civilian deaths. In Gaza the numbers are switched.
Even if the numbers are true, that leaves Germany with 2x the proportion of civilian deaths.
