> Masad, 38, has felt obliged to speak out about Gaza ever since, calling out those in tech who, in his view, have supported Israel’s “genocide” of the Palestinian people.
This sentence would be better without the scare quotes. Something like "calling out those in tech who support what he views as a genocide."
The phrasing in the article shows very strong bias towards Israel in general
I agree with you that it’s a genocide, but that is not universally accepted, so I think the scare quotes are OK. This article isn’t seeking to litigate the genocide in Gaza.
Scare quotes don’t mean that it’s not true.

As it happens, genocide scholars disagree with you, and in any case, Gaza's population has not increased.
It's at least plausible that the population did increase. Estimates of births during the war are larger than the casualty count that Hamas claims.

I wasn’t going to reply but since you’ve been rescued from the flags: which “genocide scholars” think that in increase in population is possible during a genocide?
And yes, it has.
