German reporting on the Middle East has long been criticized as one-sided. Our exclusive analysis of 5,000 headlines from leading German media outlets since October 7 shows the bias is even worse than suspected.

Mentioning Tiananmen Square, an example of internal repression with a couple of hundreds to a couple of thousands estimated fatalities, in the same sentence as two cases of near complete genocides of other ethnicities is wild. Do you not see how distorted that is as a comparison? In that comparison, you’re either trying to minimize the genocides of the Nazis, the Americans and the Turks, or raise the level of a case of internal repression with limited casualties to be comparable to massive historical crimes against humanity. Neither makes you look great.
I don’t think it was meant as such rather as just another example of saying “look at the countries past, today’s people are still responsible”.
Why should any loss of life be less tragic? you then have an even bigger issue than me, because to you it seems it’s ok to exclude a smaller genocide just because the Chinese stopped killing their citizens when it reached a few thousand, no loss of life should be disregarded just because the numbers didn’t get higher, so their sacrifice is worth less because fewer died!??
I don’t think you properly understand the word genocide and especially the weight of the Schoa; you can’t compare industrial genocide and extermination with some political crackdown…
