> By their standard the US committed "genocide" against Japan in WW2, arguably Germany too.
Germany, yes? That's the primary example of genocide in the 20th century.
"The Holocaust was the genocide of European Jews during World War II." (First sentence of Wikipedia.)
(I think widespread bombing of cities is a different crime.)
The person isn’t saying that Germany committed genocide during WW2, which is obviously true, but pointing out that by the above definition of genocide, the US committed genocide against Germany and Japan during WW2.
