Holodomor

Does it really matter? It took place 70 years ago by a country that ceased to exist nearly 20 years ago. How about worrying about things that matter today rather then looking back and moaning about the past, otherwise you'll end up like the serbians in Kosovo that were still smarting about those horrid muslims that rode over the hill and attacked them 700 years ago.
 
I don't think England rounded up Irish citizens and dropped them off in the middle of frozen wastelands to die but I could be wrong.

From previous link above:

"Since the farmers, known for their independence, refused to join the collective
farms, Stalin decided to “liquidate them as a class.” The process of “liquida-
tion”reached a high point in the winter of 1929-1930 when hundreds of thou-
sands were expropriated, dragged from their homes, packed into freight trains,
and shipped to the far north where they were dumped in the arctic, often with-
out food or shelter. By the beginning of the 1930s the totalitarian regime had
seized more than 1 million Ukrainian peasants and deported more than
850,000 to the north, where many perished. "

If you follow that line of reasoning to its logical conclusion, you would have to say that nothing except the Holocaust was ever a genocide, because they did not involve gas chambers.
 
In fact Ukraine, Argentina, Australia, Azerbaijan, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Czech Republic, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Estonia, Georgia, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Mexico, Moldova, Paraguay, Peru, Poland, Spain, United States, and Vatican City all consider the Holodomor as an act of genocide but Israel, Russia and United Kingdom do not, I wonder why?
Then again, it was Australia who so-sponsored the creation of the new Jewish state - Israel - in 1947, where the UK opposed it. So how does that figure in your balance sheet of irrational hatreds?

You are only tangentially impinging on reality, mate. Get a grip.
 
Keep it civil here please. Do not attack the arguer - attack the argument.
