Genocide in Gaza

What's the difference between the herding of innocent civilians into concentration camps and their systematic slaughter 60 years ago, and the current imprisonment of Palestinians in Gaza, denial of basic human rights, medical supplies, food, etc. and the Israeli airforce and army's bombardment?
According to the Australian Pocket Oxford Dictionary, genocide is the "deliberate & systematic extermination of an ethnic or national group". How else can the Israeli military's actions be defined?
