Recent coverage of Gaza and the West Bank illustrates that, while corporate media occasionally outright call for expelling Palestinians from their land, more often the way these outlets support ethnic cleansing is by declining to call it ethnic cleansing.

    You’re incorrect on this one. Abducting “enemy” children and brainwashing them is genocide. Erasing local language from books and signage is genocide. Part of the definition. You can kill an ethnicity by erasing it and not have to kill a single person.

        maybe read the actual convention on genocide instead of relying on a dictionary then?

        because the case of abducted children stated above is explicitly stated in the convention…the dictionary definition you found is simply wrong and incomplete.
