But killing by the Nationalists was also strategic and ideological. After the initial cooperative period, they especially sought out communists or communist sympathizers for execution. When defeating the communists in a particular region and occupying or reoccupying it, they went so far as to kill anyone they felt had cooperated with the communists or had been tainted by them. In one military drive against the communist in 1934 to 1935, they slaughtered or starved to death perhaps as many as 1,000,000 people.
Japan was also a resource poor nation with an industrious, expansionist people. It was only natural that they look to the mainland of Asia for new space to occupy. The war with Russia in the early 1900's gave Japan an opportunity to expand into Manchuria, technically a part of China but only loosely controlled.
People's Republic of China, Mao Zedong's regime (1949-1975): 40 000 000
The Palestine Committee set up by the Foreign Office recommended that the reference to 'the claim' be omitted. The Allies had already noted the historical connection in the Treaty of Sèvres, but they had recognized no legal claim. They felt that whatever might be done for the Jewish people was based entirely on sentimental grounds. Further, they felt that all that was necessary was to make room for Zionists in Palestine, not that they should turn 'it', that is the whole country, into their home.
so it was bad indeed, and nothing can ever make the nazis look good. but ... certain people looking like they have become the thing they hate.

Badly at that. It's a word people use to inflame passions and it's completely inappropriate.What's happening is not genocide and is not even comparable to the holocaust, to think otherwise is to be completely ignorant or callous with regard to sensitive history. What it is though is a very heavy handed campaign that is far too careless with regard to collateral damage.
