    Nope. There’s a ton of war crimes going on, but they all add up to genocide. You don’t get to create a false either/or, and the definition of Genocide is set in international law. Not your head.

      Well, no? Genocide isn’t defined as something like, “5 or more war crimes put together equals genocide,”

      So I agree with you that you can’t just invent a definition to genocide which is why I find your comment so ironic and I highly suggest looking up the definitions used by the people who will be trying this case.

        I didn’t say any 5 war crimes. I said these war crimes. Again, you misrepresent reality to argue in bad faith.

          Well 5 was an example? But clearly you think it is less.

          How few war crimes does it take to equal a genocide in pretenland?
