      Mass genocide? As opposed to what? Minor genocide? A genocide is a genocide, there are no adjectives to it.

          Your’s is the typical defense of genocide-enabling Zionists and their allies from feddit.org in defense of Isn’treal: “The Holocaust was different! How dare you compare it to the Armenian genocide, or the Rohingya genocide or what is happening today in Gaza?”

          A genocide is a genocide. It already implies mass.

          Genocide was coined to mean, and is generally used in law to mean, the destruction of an ethnic group as such (as a group). This is the case whether it is done by killing of all members of the group or other means, such as dispersing the group. In common usage, genocide is often used to mean “systematic mass killing”, whether or not the purpose is the destruction of a group or something else, such as terrorizing the group or killing a population without regard to group membership, more specifically known as democide.

            And your the one only seeing things in black and white so hard you’re not able to see out of your basement.

            Can’t have a bigger or more important genocide than yours eh.

            The murder was atrocious. You: Nooo all murders means the same thing!!!

            What about the Russians invading Ukraine? What about the youghurs? What do you know about tianmen square?

              To what end? Are you putting together a tier list? They should all be equally admonished to the highest order, that’s the point.

                If you just want to know if “it is” a genocide, then ok, but IMO you should study them, understand the underlying reasons, and why not come up with ways to lower or even outright prevent them?

              It’s fine, keep going. Now that you have outed yourself, I’ll just tag you with the Zionist flag in voyager and move on.
