    The Syrian Civil War is/was not a crime in itself.

    50 years ago was the 20th century (1901-2000)
    31 years ago was the 20th century (1901-2000)

    There are 75 years left in the 21st century (2001-2100).

      the 20th century

      Yes, that’s why I quoted the part where he also says it’s the worst in the last 50 years.

        Fair. But to be *more *fair, he did qualify “that he’d seen”, which is less a statement of level of atrocity mathematically, and more the fact that Israel’s crimes are being publicly and globally televised in real time, day by day. This is being done brazenly in the open and they aren’t even trying to hide it. In that respect, with such global attention and even support for these crimes, it is unprecedented in all of human history - not just the last 50 years.
