Stick to facts please.

In a war situation you don't have access to facts until after the dust has settled and the bad things have happened, so two years from now I will revise my assessment of the situation based on "the facts". The facts we do have available are historical record of what happens when self-interested, oppression happy Turkish dictators decide that a group of people are terrorists https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armenian_Genocide

Oh wow. I am impressed. You are flinging some BS tweet and making mixed letter parroting.

More important that you don't lose an argument on the internet than realize you're unwittingly defending innocent people being murdered.

So you can lie as much as you want as long as your agenda is justified? That is why I am saying stick to facts and do not resort to slogans.

We don't know the facts. This absolutely might be leading to genocide. The fact that they are cutting social media is even more evidence it might go in that direction.

I see a pro-Turkey bias. They let a guy go on there from the Turkish government and push his propaganda, mostly unchecked. They didn't have anyone from the YPG giving their side.

There was a similar operation last year, was it genocide? Please, that is not a light word you should throw around without any evidence. I am always disgusted by censorship, but thankfully there are many other channels of information out there. Also you know that Turkey is home of at least 15 million Kurds already.

Maybe ethnic cleansing is a slightly better term then genocide, though they fall under the same umbrella. The BBC is reporting that it's a possibility: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-50004203

Genocide with a cross border operation but millions of kurds living in Turkey's own territory. Okay.

For certain values of "living".

Many of the estimated 500,000 people displaced from their homes in areas under the curfews across the southeast of Turkey in 2015 and 2016 lacked access to adequate housing and livelihoods. Many were unable to return to their homes that had been destroyed during or after military operations during which state security forces clashed with armed individuals affiliated to the PKK.
