What do you think the next 'justifiable' reason to commit genocide will be? (hexbear.net)

So far historically it was "they're not Christians", then it was "wrong location" (cause they wanted the land/resources), then it was "they're not the right race", then it was "wrong economic system", and now it's "wrong culture"; what's next do you think?

EDIT: By justifiable I don't mean it's actually justifiable, I mean most people will consider it justifiable.

Basically the justification for bombing Yemen, “they’re threatening the sea lanes and international shipping!!”

Nevermind that they are doing a targeted embargo to stop a literal genocide, the specter of treat stoppage is used as justification for violence in response.
