Genocide Against Jews in Palestine

Dear Daniel Pipes,

Three teenagers — Eyal Yifrah, 19, Gilad Shaar, 16, and Naftali Fraenkel, a 16-year-old with dual Israeli-American citizenship, were killed in "Palestine," or the West Bank.

But the Media is unaware of this as constituting the International Crime of Genocide. Why?

The UN did issue a statement condemning this as Murder:

"U.N. Security Council condemns murders of Israeli teens"

http://www.jta.org/2014/07/01/news-opinion/united-states/u-n-security-council-condemns-murders-of-israeli-teens

But a good legal definition of Genocide is here:

"The legal definition of genocide (Including Discussion and Key terms)"

It is ironic that the home - Israel - for Jews to be free of the Pogroms and the Holocaust now is surrounded by perpetrators of Genocide, but almost no one (I hope I'm not the only one) seems to recognize this as constituting the Crime of Genocide against Israeli and American Jews. How come?
