Most people are anti-genocide. I think many people do not agree on what genocide is. There's a large segment of people who believe Israel is in a perpetual existential crisis, surrounded by countries full of people who think Israel shouldn't exist and that pretty much goes for Jews in general; and that Israel is merely defending itself. Personally, while I do agree that Israel is surrounded by a lot of people who don't think it should exist, I also believe this does not justify their (collective) behaviors: the settlements, and the genocide in Palestinian.

So the person you replied to was, I think, saying that most people oppose Genocide, many disagree on whether what Israel is doing is genocide, and a few would like to see some ethnic and/or cultural groups entirely eradicated. I agree with GP that the last group is relatively small.
