Would it be better if we call it an alleged genocide until the dust settles?

    I guess ethnic cleansing wouldn't fit also? Seems more accurate.

    Ethnic cleansing was a term made up by the Clinton admin to excuse why they didn't need to intervene to prevent genocide in Rwanda. Anytime you see "ethnic cleansing", it's a pretty easy and accurate replacement if you say "genocide".
