That's a lot of assumptions based on those two words I said. But for real though, why are we arguing the semantics when we're both in agreement that Russia's invasion of Ukraine and Israel's genocide of Palestine are both atrocities that need to be stopped as soon as possible

Maybe, but I consider them good assumptions.

Because the abuse of semantics and the reduction of terms like genocide to rhetorical snarl words to be recklessly thrown at any enemies has enabled Russia and Israel to do what they're doing with so little push back.
