Abstract: | This is an attempt to develop a more complete understanding of ``genocidalism of commission,' or the genocidal use of ``genocide,'
defined stipulatively as ``the energetic attributions of ``genocide' in less than clear cases without considering available
and convincing opposing evidence and argumentation.' Genocidalism is a widespread phenomenon regarding the discourse on international
affairs in the advanced, liberal societies of the West, embedding a ``normative divide' between the ways of attending to
domestic (national) concerns and ways of attending to international issues. I argue that genocidalism is morally wrong, explore
its likely causes, and suggest possible ways of getting rid of this hateful practice.
