    And that’s one of the ways you justify a genocide when it is happening. It is also how you deny that it happened.

    Genocide is more than a sudden and total purge like what the nazis did. To set the bar like that allows other forma of genocide, especially doing so at a slow pace, or other forms of ethnic cleansing like mass sterilization.

    A similar amount of people died in gaza compared to the bosnian genocide

      you’re right about this, now that i think about it more. the number is less than the Bosnian genocide and i was looking at it incorrectly. good point
