Cambodia issues principled non-statement statement on conflict in Gaza

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

Should the Jews stop going on about the holocaust as well?

The genocide was against Vietnamese, Cham, and Chinese people. So a better comparison would be if the Germans should stop going on about it.

If this is true, then why did ~1.5-2 million Khmer die? Are you implying there were no ethnic Khmer victims of the Khmer Rouge?

Where do you get your facts from? The overwhelming vast majority of victims were ethnic Cambodians, the top leadership of Angkar (Pol Pot, Ieng Sary, Ta Mok, Khieu Samphan, Nuon Chea etc.) were all ethnic Chinese or Vietnamese, ironic to your initial statement.

Most of the top leadership were Sino-Khmer, not pure Chinese. Ieng Sary was half Kampuchea Krom, ethnic Khmer from Tra Vinh - his mother was Sino-Vietnamese. Son Sen was Kampuchea Krom too. Hi Nim and Hou Youn were both Sino-Khmer.
Silence, exile, and cunning.
