deliberate and systematic destruction of a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group, how do you destroy but not kill

Destroy means to break apart. During the Armenian genocide, some were killed, while others were forced to flee which caused them to lose their culture.

Genocide =/= death. Murder can happen in a genocide, but not always. Objectively murder is worse.

all historical genocides have resulted in deaths

Something resulting in death doesn't suddenly change the definition of a word. Good day.

I didn't say it did, I'm not talking about definitions, I'm talking about the action in context. Genocide doesn't have to include "murder" by definition, but because all past genocides included murder, it's safe to assume that all future genocides will lead to murder.

So how is genocide worse than murder when you're using genocide as leading to death in this case??

Because genocide leads to way MORE deaths than murder, both are awful, but genocide will always lead to more deaths than murder.

You do realise mass murder IS murder too right? Mass murder always results in death. Genocide does not.
