48. Try learning what genocide is before abusing the term...
That's every bit as wrong as when people accuse Israel of committing genocide, something which I remember you complaining about. I take it now that yr opposition to the term being used wasn't the same as my opposition to a term which has a very clear legal definition being used to describe something that doesn't fall into that definition, but was a kneejerk opposition to it being used for clumsy rhetorical purposes against Israel but not against any other country or people. It's totally hypocritical to complain about the term being misused only when it's aimed at one side. The legal definition of genocide has been posted here many times. Is it too much to hope you might have actually read and digested it?
