If Israel wanted to genocide the Palestinians then it would have been a smoking pit with nearly 100% of the citizens killed inside of a month.
To the ecstatic delight of a substantial proportion of the Israeli public, no doubt.
However it doesn't actually have the munitions stock to do that, and plus, it would be bad PR and make the area more costly to re-develop as a prime real estate attraction. So instead it has opted the more "pragmatic" option of removing the indigenous inhabitants. Which is another form of genocide, just a softer, more palatable one.
