What is the difference between "mass clearance" and "genocide" ?

They're the same picture.

In genocide the goal is to kill all the people. The goal of this "mass clearance" is to steal the peoples' land - whether they die or not isn't really important, as long as they're gone.

Genocide is much broader than just killing everyone

Less genocide means less bad press. What's the difference between mass clearance and invasion? Not sure there.

Depends on who's writing the propaganda I guess.

I don't think they are deliberately killing these people. They want them out of the way to expose the targets.

The entire situation is a joke

On the one hand this has a the potential to save lives. On the other hand they could just stop killing civilians
