    But I am not talking about Japanese internment camps nor am I justifying them. Again, I am talking about celebrating the independence day of the country invading yours. I just don’t see how banning that is genocide.

      You’re talking about “the enemy” which, as noted, is a relative term.

      Actively quashing a culture with the intent to eliminate it is genocide. That’s item © of the definition.

        I gave a specific scenario. A country refusing to let people celebrate the independence day of the invading force. Which is who I was defining as “the enemy,” and I’m not sure how you weren’t clear on that. In this case, “the enemy” is Russia, which I think you agree with me about.

        And I just do not see how Ukraine banning the celebration of Russian independence day counts as genocide.
