Israel has deployed a mass facial recognition program in the Gaza Strip, creating a database of Palestinians without their knowledge or consent, The New York Times reports. The program, which was created after the October 7th attacks, uses technology from Google Photos as well as a custom tool built by the Tel Aviv-based company Corsight to identify people affiliated with Hamas.

Genocide doesn't mean wiping them all out, but that aside it's so they can enforce their reign of terror in the meantime. And because they later sell these technologies as "battle-tested".

Ehhm actually Genocide exactly means wiping them all out.

Then the Holocaust, Armenian genocide, Holodomor and Cambodian genocide weren't genocides. Good to know. Neither was the American and Canadian genocide of Native Americans.

You should read the UN's definition of genocide first.
