Almost 90 bombs were dropped in one region in just 24 hours.

Russia unleashed an unprecedented bombardment in southern Ukraine overnight in what local officials described as a “massive attack” in the conflict which has continued to rage even as the international community’s attention has moved to the war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza.

The Ukrainian Internal Affairs Ministry on Monday morning said Russia dropped at least “87 aerial bombs on populated areas of the Kherson region - the largest number for all time.” At least eight people were also injured in other Russian strikes carried out in the Odessa region further to the west on Sunday night.

        Ethnic cleansing is the systematic forced removal of ethnic, racial, or religious groups from a given area, with the intent of making a region ethnically homogeneous. Along with direct removal, extermination, deportation or population transfer, it also includes indirect methods aimed at forced migration by coercing the victim group to flee and preventing its return, such as murder, rape, and property destruction.[3][4][5] It constitutes a crime against humanity and may also fall under the Genocide Convention, even though ethnic cleansing has no legal definition under international criminal law.[3][6][7]

          Yes, stupid people (United Nations for example) use the wrong word, all the time, especially when it’s translated from another language. Genocide is the wrong word to use. Israel is not wiping out nor trying to wipe out the Palestinians.

            Since you’re the top mod, can I just remind you that you broke rule 5?

            Or do I need to report your comment?

            You’re still not understanding though, and it’s very important as a mod you understand this issue. Otherwise I’d have stopped replying already.

            This ain’t an etymology thing. Definitions are clarified for legal purposes. I think you have to ask yourself why you’re trying to dig your heels in against a literal definition. They didn’t define it wrong, it’s literally defined in excruciating and exacting detail for legal purposes.

              Where are the examples of Israel taking Palestinian child to convert them to Judaism? That is the line you’re trying to imply. Forced relocation is not genocide. It’s a population transfer.

                It’s Ethnic Cleansing, is that better?

                  What is being cleansed, which means wiping out the entire race or tribe? Relocation isn’t killing, it’s inconvenient and will create more problems, but the population is being kept together.

                  Don’t get me wrong, I totally understand your hatred of Israel, but I haven’t seen an attempt at diplomacy this century by the Palestinian government. They wanted violence and they got violence.

                  Hopefully we can get a ceasefire, put a third party military in Gaza to secure the peace, remove all military weapons, arrest all the terrorists, and the Palestinian people can live their lives peacefully for awhile.

                    I totally understand your hatred of Israel

                    Where the hell did I say that?

                    Ethnic Cleansing:

                    noun

                    The systematic elimination of an ethnic group or groups from a region or society, as by deportation, forced emigration, or genocide.

                    (Since you like the ‘English definition’ for terms.)

          Incorrect word.

          The use of a loaded latin word like genocide is used to invoke mass killing and wiping out a population completely. It you see it use you know the source is extremely biased and should not be taken as fact.

          Use the correct language so you don’t loot like a fool.
