If the Russians had killed 30,000 Ukrainians in bombing campaigns and leveled Kiev, because they claimed to be aiming for Ukrainian troops hidden underground tunnels, everyone would be calling it genocide.

I wouldn’t, because I know what genocide is.

And they’ve killed more than that.

"an investigation by AP from the end of 2022 gives a number of up to 75,000 killed civilians in Mariupol area alone"

That's the first and only time I've heard that and I follow the news from Ukraine very closely.

Other estimates appear lower, but seem to be sticking with confirmed numbers. Confirming numbers out of a place like Mariupol would presumably be pretty hard.

Also, don't forget about the thousands of children that were kidnapped by the Russians and are currently being raised in Russia. But thanks for making our point. It is funny how much atrocity will be overlooked by the left--Uyghurs, Bangladesh, Yemen, Sudan, etc.--when the Jews cannot be blamed.
