I reported that, but no action was taken.

Calling for ethnic cleansing of Kurds at the hands of Islamic fascists should be against the rules… right?

    I’m agnostic about whether action should be taken, but calling for a state (or pseudo-state) to “wiped off the map” is not a call for genocide or ethnic cleansing, and acting like it is reinforces the Israeli claim that Arabs are genocidal in their opposition to Israel

      But in the context of Rojava it does. Because DAANES was specifically created to protect the Kurdish minority from ISIS repression.

      What if someone said “China should be wiped off the map”? What would you infer from that sentence?

        You have to understand this is literally the exact same argument Israel uses if you sub in “Arabic hordes” for ISIS

        I mean this is the problem with hypotheticals isn’t it? I’d be pretty confused. I guess I’d assume they want to balkanize China, or maybe just bring and end to the PRC as an institution (maybe to be replaced by ROC)? Pretty far down that last though would be the assumption that they want an ethnic cleansing of Chinese people from China.
