No, no, we just don't want to have it be misinterpreted that we posted all genocide should be rejected. The current situation in the middle east, if it is or isn't a genocide, does not excuse us for taking the position that all genocide is unacceptable.

Painting with broad strokes that all genocide is wrong is insensitive to those who may have different opinions about the propriety of genocide, and those people are worthy of including in our circle of valued partners and members, who can Never Again tolerate genocide unless we need to on social media.
