| There no need to have a holier than thou attitude. I am sure there were cases of whatever you found happened historically, just as there are cases of similar situations that are happening currently. No one is arguing that abuse cases or whatever you found aren’t tragedies nor should they be ignored, IF AND WHEN they actually occurred.
What people talking about is the sudden rush to claim that anomalies of ground penetrating radar were mass graves in several sites that were never known previously to be grave sites. There was a large media sensation several years ago that created a lot of division and rhetoric within society. One side ignored the fact that lots of things can cause anomalies like that so it can not be determined that those areas were mass graves without exhuming whatever is there. They just assumed they were graves and refused to allow excavation while blaming another race for the apparent tragedy their ancestors had committed. Eventually, approval to dig a site or two proved there were no bodies buried, at least in all excavations to date.
The claims of tragedies that had happened there was proven to be misinformation, perhaps even disinformation in some people’s parlance. Due to finding zero bodies in the controversial sites that have been allowed to be exhumed there is a very valid concern that there are no bodies buried in any of the other claimed burial sites also.
The continued resistance to excavation to prove that the remaining claims are true raises the question of the motives of those fuelling this division. Why are they against allowing those that they blame being able to prove their innocence? Where is the virtue in that? It is entirely possible that the only victims in this situation are the people they are blaming. Are you against finding out the truth?
Edit to add: Guilty until proven innocent is way too common these days. But refusing to allow proving innocence makes it much worse.
