Neither was genocide, neither in outcome nor in intention.

You could argue about "mass killing" or some such. Dresden firebombings did not attempted to eliminate German nation as such. It does not matter how actual nazi try to frame it as similar to holocaust, it was not nearly close.

And same goes for Hiroshima. It was not an attempt to eliminate Japanese people out of existence.

yes, that is my point. Israeli bombings of Gaza were far more precise and less directed at a civilian population

also the population was warned to evacuate in advance, nothing that the germans or japanese had the benefit of
