And really not the topic, starving and the chance to leave alive is.Because it is not genocide when people of that group are allowed to leave, not killed. How stupid are you? If they stay they are killing themselves. Look at the title of the thread, where do you see the word genocide?My position on genocide and ethnic cleansing has been consistent and absolutely clear through out my time here. I don't care if the victims and perpetrators are Muslim, Christian, Jewish, Buddhist, Hindu, Animist or Athiest.
Let me remind you what genocide is:
What is Genocide?
The term "genocide" did not exist before 1944. It is a very specific term, referring to violent crimes committed against groups with the intent to destroy the existence of the group. Human rights, as laid out in the US Bill of Rights or the 1948 United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, concern the rights of individuals.
Genocide - Facts & Summary - HISTORY.com
Genocide is a term used to describe violence against members of a national, ethnic, racial or religious group with the intent to destroy the entire group. The word came into general usage only after World War II, when the full extent of the atrocities committed by the Nazi regime against European Jews during that conflict became known. In 1948, the United Nations declared genocide to be an international crime; the term would later be applied to the horrific acts of violence committed during conflicts in the former Yugoslavia and in the African country of Rwanda in the 1990s.
What is Genocide?
The crime of genocide has two elements: intent and action.
“Intentional” means purposeful. Intent can be proven directly from statements or orders. But more often, it must be inferred from a systematic pattern of coordinated acts.
Intent is different from motive. Whatever may be the motive for the crime (land expropriation, national security, territorial integrity, etc.,) if the perpetrators commit acts intended to destroy a group, even part of a group, it is genocide.
Genocide is and always will be EVIL. No exceptions.
The fact that you can't bring yourself to say that speaks volumes.They are not an ethnic group, they are a political invention. I posted a link that explained it.Why can't you simply say what the genocide against the Rohinga ethnic group - is wrong? Is it so hard to say that?
What ever you choose to call them is irrelevent, and I suspect yet another dodge to giving a direct answer.
They are a defined group of people undergoing genocide by all definitions of the term (which I posted above).
Why can't you simply say that the genocide against the Rohinga ethnic group - is wrong?
It is something you use to avoid what Islam is doing and has done.
Genocide is genocide. Review the definition.
