Okay Botski, then what about this?
And there it is: people like you have normalized every other war crime so much that someone like me, who thinks Russia is a fascist gangster state committing a brutal war of aggression but not a genocide, is completely indistinguishable from a literal Russian agent. That's why you need it to be a genocide: because you want to condemn it, but you've already normalized every other atrocity so much that you don't even see them as bad anymore. And you're rabidly trying to do the same for genocide as well
That's a lot of assumptions based on those two words I said. But for real though, why are we arguing the semantics when we're both in agreement that Russia's invasion of Ukraine and Israel's genocide of Palestine are both atrocities that need to be stopped as soon as possible
Maybe, but I consider them good assumptions.
Because the abuse of semantics and the reduction of terms like genocide to rhetorical snarl words to be recklessly thrown at any enemies has enabled Russia and Israel to do what they're doing with so little push back.
A lie, as usual for NATOpedia. Ukraine after years of insistence by Russia prepared list of... 339 names, of which 161 was found living with parents in Germany.
