The image you’ve shared is highly misleading and represents a manipulation of data and terminology. It uses flawed logic and false equivalence to make a political point. Let’s break it down and debunk it clearly and factually.

Population growth ≠ proof of no genocide

The chart compares genocides based on population change before and after the event, suggesting that if a population grows afterward, then a genocide didn’t occur or wasn’t severe.

This is factually wrong:

• Genocide is defined by intent to destroy a group, not by population trends decades later.

• Populations can recover and grow after genocides due to birth rates, immigration, or international aid.

Example: The Jewish population has grown since the Holocaust — yet no serious historian would claim the Holocaust wasn’t a genocide.
