Yeah it does mean something if it isn’t genocide.

Civilian death can be justified under IHL. It doesn’t mean civilians dying is a good thing, but it doesn’t mean that the US is obligated to act.

So if people don’t agree it’s genocide, then there is room for them to sit where they think it’s bad, but it’s not bad enough for them to act. If it’s genocide, there is no justification.
