"When Hitler was beginning his extermination of European Jews, he had not yet committed genocide. But he was in the process of committing genocide."

Do you work hard at making up your own syntax? As soon as Hitler and his cronies, German and Palestinian [See 'Icon of Evil'], decided on the final solution and killed the first Jew, they were both in the PROCESS and the ACT of committing genocide. And I'm not even considering the masses of Jews killed in Germany before the Final Solution was implemented. There is no…repeat…there is NO difference. You are 'choosing' your words so as to say nothing.

"When a government starves a civilian population, one can't really say that a genocide has been committed while relatively few numbers of people have died."

At what number can one say a genocide is being committed? If you believe that the Israeli government is starving Gaza with the express intent of killing as many people as possible for no other reason then they are Palestinian, then you ARE implicating Israel in genocide, whether only one Gazan dies, or hundreds of thousand die. Again you said nothing in what you wrote. Are you afraid to say what you really think? I don't think so. But I do think you choose your words so you can't, to your way of thinking, be pinned down.

If Hamas had better rockets, and were better able to use them, and were able to kill thousands of Israelis, targeting as they do primarily civilian targets, would they then be committing genocide, or would they only be killing an enemy?

And I still don't know what you mean by an 'accomplished genocide'. I can hardly wait to find out. But I guess that will have to wait until tomorrow (Monday) night.
