When I was a graduate student at Emory, I taught a class on comparative genocides We studied the Armenian genocide, the Holocaust, and the Rwandan genocide, specifically.

Students, piqued by curiosity, were asked to describe how these horrific events were similar and how they were different" / X - Jonathan Eric Lewis@LewisJonathanE

Fast forward to 2026 and now 'genocide' is mainly used as a rhetorical weapon, meant to delegitimize Jewish peoplehood and to manufacture consent for the abuse and harassment of Jews. 

• There is no attempt to understand the term or to learn about actual genocides. 

Few people who scream 'genocide' on here have ever read a book on the topic. 

Many, lacking reading comprehension skills, are simply incapable of doing so. 

• If you don't think this is going to affect how politics are conducted in the United States going forward, I have a bridge to sell you.
