Lie better, it's clear you've never clicked trough a source in your life
Unless of course CNN directly linking to the report isn't a source somehow
Here's what actual evidence looks like:
The Armenian Genocide
The Gaza Genocide
The Darfur Genocide
The Holocaust
Now here's the "Uyghur Genocide"
Notice that all but one of those has photographic evidence of the defining feature of a genocide, the dead bodies.
Lol at the way you conceptualize evidence. Also lol at the way that you don't know what genocide is.
Genocide isn't about killing.
Photos aren't evidence.
What's next?
War is peace?
Freedom is slavery?
You didn't use photos as evidence. You used the lack of results in a Google image search as evidence. Absence of evidence isn't evidence of absence and a single Google image search isn't a very thorough search for evidence to begin with.
Also Genocide doesn't imply killing. There are forms of genocide that doesn't involve mass murder.
If it’s a bad way to find evidence maybe you have a better way. If you have some evidence, I’d love to see it.
Not all killings are genocide but I’m not aware of any definition of genocide that doesn’t involve it. What definition of genocide are you using?
