/ˈjenəˌsīd/
noun
the deliberate killing of a large group of people, especially those of a particular ethnic group or nation.
Half the victims of the Holocaust were not Jewish, and the Cambodian Genocide wasn't targeting just any one group.
Genocide denial/apologism is bad.
1. So is a simple military campaign Genocide. If the goal is to kill as much enemy forces as possible, even in self defense.Is Killing rapist and thief in masses genocide.
2.The Holocaust also included Gypsies, Slavic people and other racial groups. It also included political dissidence, sexual deviants, artist and disabled or mentally ill people. It deserves the title of genocide because most of it was targeted at racial and ethnic groups.
3. Well, The Holodomer did not have a defined ethnic targeted at all. We are following slightly different definitions. Honestly, it affected every aspect of Soviet society negatively.
1. If your goal is only to kill as many enemy soldiers as possible, probably yes since that's not the point of a war. Comparing millions of innocent people staved to death by deliberate Soviet polices to rapists doesn't shine well on you.
2. So the Cambodian Genocide doesn't deserve the title going by that logic.
3. It overwhelming effected the Ukrainian people and was a caused and exacerbated by deliberate polices by the Soviet Union.

... but I see the object of this thread isn't actually to discuss Rojava, but just to diss them for every single little thing they have done. Including defending themselves from ISIS. In a civil war. Yawn.
So Rojava doesn't have flaws. These are not little issues, they are ideological contradictions. These Ideological Contradictions show that Rojava isn't such the fairy land that many see it as. As for ISIS, I did support the anti-terrorist campaigns.
Not what anyone is saying.
