      I think that in this context it means that they acknowledge that they are not the ones who decide whether it is or isn’t genocide but in their opinion it does meet the necessary criteria.

        Deciding that facts are facts is not up to anyone. It’s an agreement we all take part in when we converse.

        Genocide is very very clearly defined, and this offensive is very very clearly documented. This is not opinion. This is not going to wait for myself, you, or OP, or any of our feelings.

        This is genocide. That’s it. The fact that we are still talking about this in this way is insane. We’re a year deep into …

        I’m gonna let the kids at home fill in the blanks.

        Spoiler, it’s textbook genocide.
