Expanding genocide beyond physical forms makes all colonialism inherently genocidal

Evidence

Consistent with this narrative, I argue that colonialism, of the settler and nonsettler type, is inherently genocidal, in every shade this term implies, an implication that will require us to expand the meaning of genocide beyond its conventional physical forms. And if this argument is accepted, then one is compelled to conclude that central domain’s academia—not only Orientalism—is also inherently disposed to laying down the discursive and material foundations of colonialist genocidal practice. There is then both a logical and an ontological concomitance between the academia of the central domain and colonialism, on the one hand, and the same concomitance between colonialism and genocide, on the other. — Wael Hallaq, Restating Orientalism, 383 (#corroborates, via linked claim)
