Yes, the intent is there in case of Israel. For example, purposely (not incidentally) destroying all life supporting infrastructure even if it does not have any military significance (like drinking water supply) clearly demonstrates intent to depopulate.
You say it's purposeful, they say it's incidental. Israel still supplies Gaza with water, albeit at a substantially reduced rate. Roughly 40% of the water infrastructure remains operational[1]. Therefore, your maximalist claim of "destroying all life supporting infrastructure" is false.
Russia has hit plenty of life-supporting infrastructure in the affected areas of Ukraine and millions have been displaced. Will you therefore admit a genocide committed by Russia?
Especially easy to find among Hamas, or PA, or a whole bunch of other Palestinian organisations even when it comes to their own people.
Palestinian organizations have committed genocide, no need to change definitions or laws, in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Jordan, Egypt, Kuwait, Israel and maybe Saudi Arabia too. In most of those places they have a reputation for disgusting cruelty (e.g. using snipers against school children in Lebanon)
This is emphasized by the fact that both Israel and Russia are accused of genocide in their attacks, and both bibi and vlad are wanted for war crimes, which tracks, because both have an "ends justify means" attitude.

Even before the whole GHF setup, which is just organized cruelty to starve a population.

In other words: they are not the good guys.

The text is " a national, ethnical, racial or religious group"
Ukraine is not killing Russians because they are Russian, Ukraine is killing Russians because Ukraine is being invaded.
