"Genocide" as an abused term

*AOC says no one should be ‘tossed out of public discourse’ for accusing Israel of genocide.*

I disagree with that accusation — I've explained the difference between genocide and a series of atrocities — but I agree completely with AOC's point.

As long as we tolerate people in public discourse despite their advocating the horrible things that Republicans espouse (or, should we say, "rape"?) nowadays, it is absurd to condemn a person totally for a disagreement over the level of condemnation Israel deserves for killing 25,000 Palestinian civilians.
