This is simply objectively false. For example, ten times as name 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.
Another of user ArbitrayValues comments right here from another thread, arguing that its ok for the catholic church to keep pedo priests confessions of their crimes secret:
The issue here is that Catholic priests have a religious obligation not to report crimes they find out about in certain specific circumstances, and this law would prevent them from fulfilling that obligation
So no, I dont think your opinions about genocide matter much, buddy. You always seem to pick the wrong side where religions are concerned.

The Syrian civil war wasn’t one crime; it was a war by multiple actors none particularly committed to human rights. Also Syria’s population is more than ten times that of Gaza.
The person in the OP is talking about their experience in the 50 years part, so it’s entirely possible they simply weren’t involved in aid during or after the Rwandan genocide.
This year is the 50th anniversary of the start of the Cambodian genocide.
The Gaza genocide is, in fact, keeping pace with or beating the Cambodian genocide in terms of percentage of population killed per unit time; it’s just that most of them are via malnutrition, disease or outright starvation and therefore not counted in official statistics. In Gaza the deaths are also only the most extreme effect of Israeli crimes; there’s also the widespread (read: near-universal) starvation and disease, and the ridiculous number of injuries. Also Israeli crimes against children trump anything the Khmer Rouge did in that department, so I’m gonna agree with the OP on this one.
Fair. But to be *more *fair, he did qualify “that he’d seen”, which is less a statement of level of atrocity mathematically, and more the fact that Israel’s crimes are being publicly and globally televised in real time, day by day. This being done brazenly in the open and they aren’t even trying to hide it. In that respect, with such global attention and even support for these crimes, it is unprecedented in all of human history - not just the last 50 years.

So this is a matter of religion for you? Which religion is that, and which side are you on?
We’re far too early in either Holocaust to officially tally the dead. The current counts in both countries are conservative.
This seems like you’ve got a weird bone to pick with a guy reporting on an industrial scale genocide of 1.4M people.

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