I had never read that definition, and it seems way too broad to be what most people mean - according to this definition, killing 20 Christians on purpose is considered a genocide?
Indeed, from later in the article:
> While mass killing is not necessary for genocide to have been committed, it has been present in almost all recognized genocides.
- macintux 4y agoGiven the large civilian graves, the bombing of shelters, the forced deportation of Ukrainians to Russia, the theft of children…there doesn’t seem to be a reasonable argument that this isn’t genocide.
- edanm 4y agoI wasn't commenting on Ukraine specifically, just on my surprise at the definition of genocide.
- pintxo 4y agoIf you "intent to destroy" Christianity, "in whole or in part" then killing just 2 should be enough to formally be considered genocide. I guess, citation needed, mass graves simplify arguing in favor of "intend to destroy". Otherwise its often not easy to prove intend.
