Ethnisches Säubern
Die Krisen, die der Menschheit heute die Stirn bieten sind - ethnisches Säubern, religiöser Fanatismus...
Peer comment(s):
| disagree |
Jerzy Czopik
: ethnische Säuberung wird überall verwendet, "ethnisches Säubern" stellt nur eine geringe, aber nicht gängige Abwandlung der anderen Formulierung dar

ethnic cleansing = ethnisches Säubern

| disagree |
Ulrike Lieder (X)
: Abgesehen davon ist der Übersetzungsvorschlag falsch; es sind nicht die Krisen, die der Menschheit die Stirn bieten, sondern eher umgekehrt; die Menschheit muss die o.g. Krisen bewältigen also (um den Ausdruck beizubehalten), den Krisen die Stirn bieten.
