      You can simultaneously condemn the invasion of Ukraine and understand that false claims of genocide are harmful against people suffering genocide

          Putin kills Ukrainian civilians, not because of their religion or genetics or culture but to terrorise them into submission so that they encourage their military to give up so that he gets to plunder their land and resources.

          This is very different to the universally accepted definition of genocide as applies to The Holocaust, Rwanda, Cambodia.

          Ireland is trying to get the ICJ to broaden the UN definition of genocide to include both the Ukraine and Gaza tragedies.

            Idiots have decided the new definition of genocide is simply “when one side kills a bunch of people on the other side” and get angry when you point out how infantile that is.
