The military operations are accompanied by mass exterminations of the peaceful population, ethnic cleansing in the occupied territories and much destruction.

Yet crying genocide too liberally quickly cheapens its value, entangling efforts to respond to ongoing exterminations in debates about their precise legal nature.

Many thought that the horrors of the Second World War the camps, the cruelty, the exterminations that took place during the Holocaust could never happen again.

The secrecy of the operations, the geographical location of the camps... the breakdown of communications in the last days of the war... when the exterminations rose into the millions... show only too clearly that he is not telling the truth!
