Ethnic cleansing where the victimized group explodes in population size by many millions…what else ya got?

That's an intriguing way to frame the issue, likening it to a family scenario. It highlights that the essence of a loss isn't necessarily offset by subsequent gains. For instance, imagine a forest being cut down for development. Later, a few trees are planted elsewhere. While there's an increase in the number of trees, it doesn't equate to the loss of the original, mature forest ecosystem. The biodiversity, age-old connections between organisms, and overall environmental balance can't be instantly replaced.
