@MommaFig1 well you are the one who said "what we see now as Palestine" and every mainstream source shows modern, effective Palestine as the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, the former of which accounts for over 40% of the Palestinian population.
And while 2% of the population dead is not a massive percentage, the fact remains that so far Israel has unleashed death upon a people 30 fold what has been done to itself, any other country in the region operating as such would have been branded a dictatorship or rogue state by the west.
Is it not a genocide? I wouldn't be so sure, in the opening hours of the war Israel cut off water access to Gaza, closed its crossing and bombed the crossing at Rafah, causing the Egyptians to close their side. No supplies, no food, no water and no fuel for electricity to what essentially became an open air prison for 2 million people. International pressure forced Israel to make concessions and reopen humanitarian corridors, but what would have happened without such pressure, and what will happen in the future if that pressure is eased off.
