    This is simply objectively false. For example, ten times as many people died in the Syrian civil war.

    “There is no prior experience in my five decades of humanitarian experience that can come close to comparison to the horror we are all seeing in Gaza.”

    This year is the 50th anniversary of the start of the Cambodian genocide. The Rawandan genocide was 31 years ago. This guy is either deliberately lying or an idiot.

      The Syrian Civil War is/was not a crime in itself.

      50 years ago was the 20th century (1901-2000)
      31 years ago was the 20th century (1901-2000)

      There are 75 years left in the 21st century (2001-2100).

        the 20th century

        Yes, that’s why I quoted the part where he also says it’s the worst in the last 50 years.
