It's widely known that the legal definition of genocide, as defined in the genocide convention, is too narrow and constricted. But why didn't she just use "classicide", a term that is more widely used and that has been used describe circumstances like what happened in Maoist China, the Khmer Rouge killing fields, and Rwanda to some extent? She obviously isn't some hack who's trying to make herself sound relevant...so why?!
