Calling a genocide a genocide isn't political.
In the AIPAC-controlled US? It kind of is.
Damn, Israel really know how to play the Western world. It is not even just the money they funnel to buy Western government support, Israel's status as a major military power in the region convinces the West to further support them. The dramatic surgical precision and Godfather-style attack on Hezbollah by Israel weakened Iran and toppled Russia-backed Assad regime in Syria. It created a domino effect that unforeseeably wrecked the whole rotten house of Russia and Iran's axis of resistance. And for that, the West is indebted to Israel, which Netanyahu and his ilk cynically abuse to silence any criticism of their genocide on Gaza.
It is the same with Turkey. The anti-Assad rebel offensive was greenlighted by Erdogan following Israeli decapitation of Hezbollah. The liberation of Syria prompted Syrians to return to their country which will potentially ease immigration in Europe. Erdogan also managed to convince the Kurds to disarm. These political wins made the West indebted to Erdogan, which in turn emboldened him to strangle what remains of the Turkish democracy by arresting his arch political rivals. Unfortunately, the West is silent on this political purge that Erdogan is executing because he just gained massive political capital. Otherwise, he will threaten to pivot to Russia and/or encourage migrants to go to Europe.
These two authoritarian states played the West to continue on with their own autocratic policies. Gotta hand it to them with these clever chess moves.
we live in a post truth state,
speaking truth is a political act
Exactly. If the state can get you to deny what is true, all else follows.
Technically it is because the United Nations and international courts recognize Genocide as justification for lawful militaristic intervention and war.
So using the word is grounds for expulsion from congress, for example of how it is a political issue, as it is against US Congress rules to advocate the invasion of allied nations.
