Relocating children? Only allow the Russian language in occupied areas? Deny that Ukrainians have their own culture and are/should be part of the Motherland^tm^? Looks at least like an attempt at genocide to me.

At least four out of five criteria are documented. And while I think Russia/Ukraine and Isreal/Palestine are not comparable in a lot of aspects, what Russia is trying to achieve still does look like an attempt at genocide.
The Genocide Convention recognizes five distinct genocidal acts:
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.
Are Putin and Palestine on the same side? Is Putins attack on Ukraine helping the suffering people of Gaza and the Westbank?
I just said: 'Putin attempts genocide in Ukraine.' I didn’t call to allocate resources somewhere or ask to let Israel have it‘s way but stop Russia.
They are targeting civilian infrastructure and residential buildings hundreds of kilometres away from the front.
What's with the white washing russias genocide in Ukraine? Jesus fucking christ what's wrong with you?
