Israeli government votes to recognize Armenian Genocide

Good news! Bravo! Give Osman Sultan Erdogan what he deserves!

"The Israeli government voted on Sunday to formally recognize the Armenian Genocide, following a resolution proposal put forth by Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar late last week.  ...

“Recognizing the genocide perpetrated against the Armenian people in the final years of the Ottoman Empire is both a moral and historical duty,” Sa’ar said in a Thursday post to X/Twitter, announcing the resolution. “We must also firmly condemn any denial, minimization, or distortion of the historical truth.” ..."

Israeli gov't votes to recognize Armenian Genocide | The Jerusalem Post "Turkey denies that the massacres, imprisonment, and forced deportation of Armenians amounted to genocide, and Israel long avoided recognizing it as such due to diplomatic sensitivities."

„Jeder wird angegriffen, egal ob Christ oder Muslim“ in Nigeria. Wirklich!

Wieder mal gleichmacherischer Schrott Journalismus aus der Bananenrepublik D!

Natürlich darf auch ein obligatorischer Hinweis auf Klimawahn nicht fehlen!

Falls tatsächlich Christen in Nigeria auch von islamistischen Terroristen angegriffen und getötet werden, dann ist das mit Sicherheit keine "jeder wird angegriffen" Situation! Absoluter Mist! Eine Google Suche bestätigt das sofort!

Leidet der Journalist vielleicht unter Trump Derangement Syndrome?

Hinweis: Ich habe den Artikel nicht gelesen.

Israel has committed genocide in the Gaza Strip, UN Commission finds | OHCHR. Really!

Absurd & ridiculous!

I have argued here yesterday (but also previously) that Israel and other Western countries should abandon the United Nations! The UN has become a joke and not for the first time!

The reported casualties of the people living in the Gaza Strip (e.g. about 60-70 thousand deaths) are most likely extremely exaggerated and to a large extent due to the coward mass killers and monsters of Hamas!

"GENEVA – Israel has committed genocide against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, the UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory [???], including East Jerusalem, and Israel said in a new report today. The Commission urges Israel and all States to fulfil their legal obligations under international law to end the genocide and punish those responsible for it. ..."

Putin the Terrible's Latest Madness: Starve the World Into Submission

This is perhaps a very strong and over the top opinion, but it is not entirely without merit!

Caveat: I did not have time to read the opinion.

Opinion: Russia’s Latest Madness: Starve the World Into Submission Since the grain deal collapsed and Russia has pounded Odesa from the skies, the West must tighten the shackles to prevent the Kremlin’s catalogue of tyranny, famine and genocide from spreading.

Germany agrees to record $1.4 billion in annual Holocaust reparations as survivors age

No money in the world can undo the Holocaust! 

Unfortunately and inexcusably, Germans from the land of poets, Beethoven, and thinkers perfected the genocide and made it efficient on a large scale! A warning for generations to come!

"... annual negotiations with the German government over reparations for the estimated 240,000 remaining Holocaust survivors around the world. ...
the compensation package ... for the Claims Conference — more than $1.4 billion — was the largest monetary figure agreed to for a single year since German reparations began more than seven decades ago. The figure reflected a recognition that, even as the number of Holocaust survivors dwindles with each passing year, the needs of the remaining survivors are increasing as they age. ..."

Is Turkey waging another genocide? This time against the Yezidis

Recommendable! An article by Michael Rubin.

"While Erdogan seeks international praise for hosting millions of Syrian refugees, his actions are not altruistic. Not only does he weaponize the threat of refugees to extract concessions from European states, but he also selectively settles and bestows citizenship upon Sunni Arab refugees to dilute Turkey’s Kurdish and Alevi populations. Sectarian Sunni Islamists such as Erdogan despise Alevism, a sect similar to Shi’ism that is dominant in portions of eastern and central Turkey.

However, the victims of the genocide are Yezidi. Historically, the United States has ignored the Yezidis, adherents to a pre-Islamic religion whose population traditionally spans the area where Turkey, Syria, and Iraq meet. ...Still, many Yezidis remain in captivity. Visiting Sinuni, just miles from the Syrian border, I met Yezidis who showed me proof-of-life videos of relatives who remained in captivity in Turkey and Syria regions controlled by Turkish proxy groups. ...

The cost of such apathy goes beyond condemning Yezidi girls to suffer years more rape. In recent years, Turkey has waged a relentless bombing campaign against Yezidi villagers and farmers in the Sinjar region of northwestern Iraq. While Turkish diplomats say their bombing is rooted in a counterterrorism campaign, the reality is that the targets are more often farmers and families. ...
Turkish bombardment of Yezidi communities has increased as the Ukraine crisis and the fight against the Islamic State distracts the world. On Feb. 1 and 2, for example, 60 aircraft took off from air bases across Turkey. Accompanied by drones, these aircraft hit almost two dozen locations across Sinjar, killing numerous civilians across the region. ..."

Niederlande bezichtigt China des Genozids an Uiguren

Bravo! Hoffentlich werden andere Europäische Länder oder sogar die EU bald folgen! Die kommunistische Partei Chinas unterdrückt Religions- und Meinungsfreiheit und Minderheiten (z.B. Christen, Falun Gong, Tibetaner).

U.S. Secretary of State Pompeo declares China's policies toward Muslims, ethnic minorities 'genocide'

Bravo President Trump and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo! What a great team it was! A long overdue, but necessary step to alert the world community! 

The 46th President will probably have a hard time to undo this whether on the first day or later! Or if he does, he ought to be questioned!

"... “After careful examination of the available facts, I have determined that since at least March 2017, the People’s Republic of China, under the direction and control of the Chinese Communist Party, has committed crimes against humanity against the predominantly Muslim Uyghurs and other members of ethnic and religious minority groups in Xinjiang,” Pompeo said in a statement, according to the Associated Press. ..."

Holodomor After 80 Years

Stalin’s Holocaust

What did we learn in school about it? How much do we know about the Holocaust?

Stalin won World War II. Was Stalin too powerful to be indicted at the Nuremberg Trials?

If you are interested in Stalin’s background before he became Stalin see my blog post here.

New Holodomor Movie And YouTube Documentary

A View Brief Observations

I will not go here into any gory details of this genocide.

1) Role of Journalists

There were journalists who reported the truth and others who flatly denied it, e.g. Malcolm Muggeridge and Walter Duranty. Latter journalist has been considered a fellow traveler of Stalin.

The other, early reporter on the Holodomor was Gareth Jones. “In November 2008, Jones and fellow Holodomor journalist Malcolm Muggeridge were posthumously awarded the Ukrainian Order of Merit at a ceremony in Westminster Central Hall, ... on behalf of the President of Ukraine in reward for their exceptional services to the country and its people.” Here is a BBC piece and documentary on Gareth Jones. He appears to be quite an unusual journalist who was killed at the young age of 29 in Japanese occupied Manchuria. BBC reports “However our investigations have shown that the Chinese contact who loaned Jones and Muller [a German journalist travelling with Jones] a car to travel to Mongolia was definitely an NKVD agent [predecessor of KGB], and there's strong evidence to suggest that Muller might also have been.”

2) Appeasement And Looking The Other Way By The West

Despite the Great Depression could the West have done more to help the starving population or condemn Stalin?

3) Totalitarian Regime And Cover-Up

According to what I remember from the above mentioned YouTube documentary, Stalin’s regime managed to successfully deny the famine and cover up any suspicion of a famine by even selling extra large amounts of grain on the London commodity exchange.

Because the Soviet Union and China were closed, totalitarian dictatorships we know so little about the horrendous atrocities committed by Stalin or Mao.

4) Butcher Of The Ukraine

Not only Hitler had his henchmen, so did Stalin. One of them was little known Lazar Moiseyevich Kaganovich.

He died in 1991 at 97 in Moscow. He was never indicted.

5) Like The Holocaust, There Are Ardent Deniers

Except that these deniers appear to be lesser known and they are leftists. How come?

“An example of a late-era Holodomor objector is Canadian trade union activist and journalist Douglas Tottle, author of Fraud, Famine and Fascism: The Ukrainian Genocide Myth from Hitler to Harvard[99] (published by Moscow-based Communist publisher Progress Publishers in 1987). ” (source)
