Here is the definition of genocide:
Genocide is defined in Article 2 of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (1948) as "any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such: killing members of the group; causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; [and] forcibly transferring children of the group to another group."

Here are some claims about what Google has been doing in this regard:

I would argue Google is "disappearing" the Palestinian people in a way not foreseen when the Genocide Convention was written, but in an effective manner nonetheless.
Do their acts and omissions constitute "genocide"? I guess it boils down to "intent". WHY is Google doing this?
What do you think?
