You just don't understand the difference. It's time you did. Plonk.


Obviously you didn't bother to read that page and are just resorting
to standard issue knee jerk responses. Of course putting me in your
kill file nicely obviates the need for you to argue your case, which
means your probably can't.

Though if someone can explain what the difference is between this and
anything the nazis did with a certain other ethnic group (who do
sometimes seem to give the impression they were the only ones who have
been ethnically cleansed in the whole of history , never mind WW2) I'd
be interested in hearing it:

"The Armenian Genocide was conceived and carried out by the Ottoman
Empire from 1915 to 1923, resulting in the deportation of nearly
2,000,000 Armenians, of whom 1,500,000 men, women, and children were
killed, 500,000 survivors were expelled from their homes, and which
succeeded in the elimination of the over 2,500-year presence of
Armenians in their historic homeland"

or perhaps this:

"During the Congo Civil War, Pygmies were hunted down and eaten by
both sides of the war, who regarded them as subhuman.[198] Sinafasi
Makelo, a representative of Mbuti pygmies, has asked the UN Security
Council to recognize cannibalism as a crime against humanity and an
act of genocide.[199] According to a report by Minority Rights Group
International there is evidence of mass killings, cannibalism and
rape. "

or this

"From the 1490s when Christopher Columbus set foot on the Americas to
the massacre of Sioux at Wounded Knee by the United States militia,
the indigenous population of the Western Hemisphere may have declined
by as many as 100 million."

etc etc
