You’re entirely right; it distorts the meaning of the word in a terrible way, and a nonsensical way.

Do the Palestinians who die in refugee camps in the Arab nations surrounding Israel and Palestine count as victims of genocide too? Lots of those camps have shitty sanitary conditions and lousy medical care, not to mention criminal gangs running them, because the Arab states don’t actually give a shit about Palestinians. By those standards, Syria, Egypt, and Jordan are all complicit in that same genocide.

In fact, I’d bet— though this is out of my posterior— that you find higher growth rates in Palestine than you do in the various refugee camps.
