It absolutely is a violent act. In the same way that locking a person in a cage is a violent act, depriving people of the things they need to live is a violent act.
The fact is, simply asking these people to stop hoarding and polluting is not going to work (duh).
Is there a non-violent solution?
Killing other humans is often justified. For instance, it would be completely justified to kill someone who was in the process of shooting up a school.
In the same way, billionaires are guilty of causing the deaths of millions of people through their hoarding of necessities. Killing the billionaires would allow this wealth to be redistributed, saving potentially millions of lives.
Glad to see lead paint making a comeback!
Ah gotcha, cheers
Ah right, I thought she was the Republican nutter who had a three way with a woman and her husband. Different Republican nutter.
I personally didn't interpret "mushroom gobbler" as a homophobic slur. I thought OP was alluding to the fact that she has about as much lucidity as someone who's high on mushrooms.
I could be wrong though, I'm not American.
The United states holocaust museum has a pretty good 'plain text' definition of genocide, which perfectly captures what the Israelis are trying to do to the Palestinians as genocide.
The article also has some useful 'plain text' descriptions of ethnic cleansing, crimes against humanity, mass atrocities, mass killing and war crimes.

The astute reader will notice that the Israelis are actually guilty of all of these mass atrocities as part of their attempts to genocide the Palestinians.
Genocide is defined as any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group.
The acts are:
Except for perhaps the last point, there's no person that could argue that Israel has not perpetrated these acts against the Palestinians.
All that leaves then is the intent aspect of genocide.
The Israelis are very open about their desire to destroy Palestine. Law4palestine has a collection for quotes from current and former legislators which capture their genocidal intent:
If you don't feel like reading through that, here's an excellent summary of other evidence of Israel's genocidal intent from Jewish Currents:

*Edit: added the link to the legislators list. Left the decision makers list as it just serves to hammer the point home

That's a bad comparison. The Wikipedia decision was made specifically because the experts -- i.e actual scholars of genocide and war crimes -- have a very widely held consensus that a genocide is occurring.
Do you disagree with the experts?
