Great, I’m glad your dictionary is happy about deporting 5 year olds.

“Uhm aktually it’s not a genocide it’s just a fascist police state”

Multiple humanitarian organizations define mass displacement as genocide and/or ethnic cleansing.

The holocaust literally started with mass deportations/detentions. Then the nazis figured out that it was easier to kill detainees.

    If you have some point to make about deporting 5 years olds or whatever, don't you think it would be more persuasive without provoking a tangential discussion about your idiosyncratic definition of genocide regardless of whatever organizations agree with you?

    You're mixing two things here to your advantage. Genocide is (or can be) ethnic cleansing but ethnic cleansing is not genocide. So your "and/or" does some work for you there and makes you correct. However, you said genocide not "genocide and/or ethnic cleansing". You've moved the goalposts.

    It'd be odd to redefine any word that ends in '-cide' from actual killing.

    > The holocaust literally started with mass deportations/detentions.

    Which was ethnic cleansing.

    > Then the nazis figured out that it was easier to kill detainees.

    Which was the point which it became a genocide.
