That's a picture of part of the first page of the New York Times' website.

I haven't read the article.

This isn't the first time that I have given my opinion about genocide.  I don't give this opinion as a historian, a politician, a sociologist or anyone else who has the academic or professional credentials to give it.  It's the opinion of a woman who was born over 4 decades ago.

There are only so many times that you can hear the words "Never Again" before you know that what they really mean is "Until Next Time."  

You want to look at something?  Look at the term "ethnic cleansing."

Cleansing.
