What a specious argument; “genocide” doesn’t have a threshold on the number of deaths required. And Syria was a completely different situation (though an unspeakable crime at atrocious proportions).

People usually don't consider a dozen deaths to be genocide even if it can be but yes you are correct, it doesn't have a threshold.
