    If Pakistan is committing genocide against Afgans, that is bad too. However forcing refugees into another land is less terrible than bombing the shit out of civilians.

    To discourage documentation of genocide is very bad no matter who is doing it.

    How do people not understand this?

      Pakistan is not doing ethnic cleansing, don't fall for the obvious non sensical propaganda. There were afghanis who came into Pakistan due to Afghanistan invasion by USSR and US war and Talibani oppression. There is an increased amount of terrorism from Taliban affiliated parties in Pakistan. So Pakistan decided to send these refugees back home. Obviously it's a bad decision but we can understand the nuance. Pakistan did genocide though of Bangladeshis in 1971 by which 3 million bengalis were killed or raped.

        Maybe the word "genocide" is a problem in of itself because it destroys the nuance that makes various forms of bad things look like the same thing. Refugees being turned back to their homeland is not on the scale of awful that a campaign of rape an murder of civilians is. Still not great though. I'd rather people just be able to live their lives wherever they want as long as they aren't colonizing anybody.

          While the rape and killings were supported by US kissinger and China's alignment with Kissinger where 3 million were killed which was intentional and deliberate to kill the ethnicity for the language here in Afghans deportation Pakistan dont have intent to finish off afganis. The intent and hate is a crucial factor. Ofc genocide is an important word and we can't stick to only "European jews" Only for European racism.
