Oh I know, but one word has a much bigger social impact than the other.
Its the same difference between molested and raped. You typically see in news headers that an adult male raped a little girl, but an adult women molested a little boy. One sounds much worse than the other, yet both are the same thing
Granted but they’re not the same thing. Ethnic cleansing is more broad then genocide, and genocide TECHNICALLY doesn’t have to be ethnic cleansing (but as far as I know always has been).
IMO ethnic cleansing in general can be more insidious. If you drive people from their homes and replace them with your own settlers, that’s ethnic cleansing. But it’s complex enough that the right wing will deny that it is such.
