When surprise bombing raids slaughter civilians by the hundreds, people can't flee, & rescuers can't rescue, it's not ethnic cleansing. It's genocide. Demand Congress halt all funding to Israel. Call your Senators & Rep to Congress. 202-224-2131.

Ethnic cleansing would still be a good enough reason???

I think the point she's trying to make is that mainstream media goes out of their way to avoid the word "genocide" because they don't wanna scare advertisers. But yes, both are bad.

If there is even a difference they are equally evil in my eyes. It honestly seems like pointless hair-splitting.

Again, I think it's the media being afraid of the word that is the point. Yes, you're right tho, they are both equally bad, but for some reason the media really hates using the word 'genocide' lately.
