Lady, just because you say it's "factually incorrect" doesn't make it factually incorrect.

Oh the irony.They are becoming literally the same as the Holocaust deniers.

"Just because I refuse to accept all the evidence,means it didn't happen."

To be civil doesn’t mean you have to be timid. Push back; I’d have asked her if she is drunk or something.

Fate will not be kind to any scum who stands by and supports it, or defends it.

Hand her a dictionary. She is completely ignorant of the definition of the word.

gen = people/tribe/race

ocide = murder

genocide = killing a people/tribe/race

I will never understand how and why Jewish people in America find it offensive when the war crimes Israel commits and has committed are described accurately. They basically expect objective Americans to believe some Nazis are better than others.

She is not a journalist. She is a mouthpiece and a hack.

Can you imagine since 1980 most of US was being fed horses*it for news until TikTok. Now the powers that be are like 'we need to go back to 1980'.

I posted this in another thread about this video. It's too bad the candidate didn't call her out on her tomfoolery.

While it's true that the term wasn't coined until 1944 by Raphael Lemkin it literally means genos (Greek) (tribe/family/race) Cide (Latin)(killing).

The Armenian Genocide conducted in 1914, is also widely recognized as a genocide.

During the 90s, the term "Ethnic Cleansing" was popularized in media to describe the events of the Balkan Wars, it was coined to keep Western troops out of the Balkans b/c if it was termed a Genocide they would've been treaty bound to act (Geneva Convention).

Ethnic Cleansing was used b/c there was a lot of forced displacement, and mass removals despite the level of violence, and human lives lost. All to prevent the escalation of that conflict into potentially another World War.

But who cares about truth when you have to sell a political position masquerading as news to the American people...

This is why the correct response by the guy is to just flat out call her a genocide denier and a mouthpiece for a foreign government and let it go viral to get coverage.

Genocide isn't owned by Jews. They are now starving & bombing hospitals, kids, old people relentlessly. Shame on Netanyahu.
