Ammunition

I can’t find which commenter wrote this, I have an awful time when I try to look something back up:

From Article 2- definitions of genocidePhotobucket

(a) Killing members of the group;
(b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
(c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
(d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
(e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

“Genocide involves the attempt to achieve the disappearance of a group by whatever means. It does not have to be violent, it could be a combination of policies that would lead to a certain group dying out.”

Malcolm Fraser (Prime Minister of Australia 1975-1983)

I’ve been reading in Der Spiegel about Tibet… a good example, people will claim there is some violence there, but it’s basically an influx of non-Tibetans. The Dalai Lama considers it to be genocide and monks are immolating themselves to draw attention. China did try to call the Dalai Lama a “naziwhowantstokillsixmillionjews” but it was pretty much laughed off by the mainstream media (probably because he’s not White).
