This statement is not true.

“Crimes against humanity have not yet been codified in a dedicated treaty of international law, unlike genocide and war crimes, although there are efforts to do so. Despite this, the prohibition of crimes against humanity, similar to the prohibition of genocide, has been considered a peremptory norm of international law, from which no derogation is permitted and which is applicable to all States.”

- This is the 1998 Rome Statute definition. So you and Winter are right. Israel is committing crimes against humanity (completely). And so does Russia.
In my Junior High days (a year or so before 1998). I learned (or I remember to have learned) that this term designated Nazi atrocities against Jews, Gypsies, homosexuals, regime opponents etc. Soviet Gulag’s were not included in this definition (or that’s how I remember it).
