A chart is circulating on social media: in Cambodia, in Rwanda and among Jews during the Holocaust the population fell, in Gaza it grew, so there can be no genocide there. But the Genocide Convention does not ask about population size, the curve did not fall for the Yazidis, the Rohingya or the Ixil, and the chart's figures for Gaza are a pre-war projection. According to Palestinian statisticians, the population of Gaza has fallen. We explain what defines genocide and where the dispute over Gaza really stands.
