Well, in the 90s, the buzz term was "ethnic cleansing". And in the decades preceding that it was "the fog of war". The fact that any genocide is still happening now, in this hyper-information age, is truly shocking.

The fact you think a Genocide is currently happening is exactly proving my point: how easily the term it is being used out of context and meaning.

Mass, deliberate killing of non-military citizens within a country... You don't think that's happening?

Wrong definition. the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group. That's genocide and it's very different for the description you used

So, I can think of five countries where genocides are currently happening. Israel isn't on the list...whatever you want to call that effed-up nonsense.

Ok, now we're talking. Indeed effed. Anyway, what I meant is that this word should be used with a heavy heart and not cheapened and being tossed around like it was an egg salad. You get my drift
