The term genocide was coined specifically to refer to what happened to the Jews during WWII. Your nonsense logic doesn’t apply.


The definition of the term genocide doesn't mention net population decrease - or in fact any population decrease at all. I think I've demonstrated why it can't possibly include such a requirement. The way I did so involves, exactly as you imply, assuming that the holocaust was a genocide. Then I show how such a requirement would contradict that assumption.
