(1,517 posts)How often have we heard people mention things like cultural genocide? It's particularly gained traction during the Nagorno-Karabakh wars. Azerbaijan has demolished numerous Armenian buildings, yet I can't tell you how many times I heard during the course "cultural genocide". By the way, the Armenian Genocide was a big reason for why Hitler did what he did in the Holocaust. In his Obersalzburg Speech, a week before he invaded Poland, he was quoted to have said, "Who, after all, speaks today of the annihilation of the Armenians?" In other words, because we never saw it as a genocide, it continued unabated. Also, that one included Greeks, Assyrians and many others in addition to the Armenians. War is hell no matter which side you are on. Russia doesn't consider Ukraine as a separate country, in fact, they don't see them as separate ethnic group. There is a reason why Russia has spent years trying to oppress Ukrainian culture.
I am aware of what Hamas is, but I am also not stupid to not see what the ideology of the Likud party and Netanyahu is as well. I bet you most of the settlers supported him. I'm calling them out when others are too afraid to do so. They are probably some of the most corrupt people there. There have been articles about Netanyahu propping up Hamas so that Abbas, who currently governs the West Bank, wouldn't be able to form a State of Palestine. It's been posted on here in the past. Go look it up if you don't believe me.
