I hate the term “ethnic cleansing”. I prefer “calculated cold-blooded murder on a massive scale”.

“Ethnic Cleansing” is like everything that liberals coin new terms for. It ought to be “Genocide” or “Mass Murder”.
The even rename diseases to fool the public into thinking things are not as bad as they are. If you heard that the a local restaurant was the source of several typhoid cases, we’d be burning down the building and blaming the “undocumented” workers. If you heard that the same restaurantwas the source for several cases of salmonella you’d just think food poisoning from tainted lettuce. Typhoid is the disease. Salmonella is tha bacteria that causes typhoid.
Somehow it doesn’t sound as bad if you call it salmonella.
Just like, somehow it doesn’t sound as bad if you call it “ethnic cleaning”.
It’s like the late George Carlin said “Shell Shock” changed to “Battle Fatigue” changed to “Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome”.
Bottom line, it’s liberals diddling with the meanings of words.
I agree. An official term like “ethnic cleansing” is rather clinical, but it is needed for legal definition, as is “genocide.” But if you read the article, I referred to what is taking place in the Nuba Mountains as “extermination campaign” and “slaughter” as well.
