Humans are capable of the most heinous crimes. Think the Holodomor in Ukraine, the Holocaust during WWII, the massacres of Rwanda in the 1990s and just about everything ISIS did in its self-styled 'caliphate'. The world has classified the deliberate attempt to eliminate an entire people as genocide, a truly abominable act. Given the seriousness of this atrocity, however, it cannot be used flippantly. The recent attempt by South Africa to accuse Israel of genocide in Gaza is one such instance. Borealis has a chat with a true expert in all things genocide-related.
