Was the holocaust such a bad thing ?
Now I have got your attention, why are we continually reminded of the terrible things that the Germans did, even film and documentaries about them, even we have to be politically correct and no be anti Semitic.Victims of Soviet genocide Mass murder of a type never before seen in human history was carried out in Russia by the Soviet government from 1917 until roughly 1953. That was the world's first modern holocaust, i.e. the systematic murder of millions of people by a government. The Soviet holocaust began years before the Nazis committed their holocaust.
Most of the murders committed during the Soviet holocaust were committed by people who were racially/ethnically Jewish [in fact, Jews, via their political activism, built the Soviet Union]. Granted, Soviet leader Joseph Stalin was not a Jew, and his predecessor Vladimir Lenin was only part-Jewish [however both were married to Jews]. But most of the top people who served in the Soviet government under both Stalin and Lenin were Jewish, and their names are well-known to many historians - for example Leon Trotsky, Lazar Kaganovich, Lev Kamenev, Genrikh Yagoda, Nikolai Yezhov ...YES JEWS !
Victims of Soviet genocide Interestingly, apart from the Soviet government, Jews also dominated many Eastern European communist governments , and as such they oversaw what might be referred to as micro-holocausts, i.e. the murder, torture and jailing of scores of other innocent citizens, most of them gentiles as well.
The Soviet holocaust is rarely mentioned in the West today. And when it is mentioned, it isn't referred to as a holocaust. The reason for that is because public mention of that holocaust - and calling it a holocaust - would cause the Nazi-committed holocaust to be significantly overshadowed. Such overshadowing would have major political, racial and financial consequences, not just for the Jews but for other people as well.
At least twenty million Russian citizens were murdered in the Soviet holocaust, and many more than that were imprisoned and/or tortured in some way. Many of the people who were murdered or oppressed were politically conservative or moderate Russians who simply opposed Soviet communism. But some of the people who were killed by the Soviets were political leftists who, for certain reasons, opposed the Soviet government, or, were seen as a political threat to the government.
Some Jews might make excuses for the Soviet holocaust. They might say that the Jews in Russia were only responding to anti-Semitism when they carried it out. But that's a weak excuse. Murdering 20 million people and enslaving millions more for decades is not an appropriate response to a social feature that was caused by Jewish behavior in the first place. Other Jews might say that the Soviet holocaust was not a 'real' holocaust. But of course it was: certain people were methodically murdered over a long period of time.

Always two sides to a story.
Thanks for sharing Ian
And some of the ISIS commanders spoke hebrew, as well as arabic with hebrew accent, when Mosul was under fire and taken, the doors was left open for these, hebrew speaking leaders to walk straight out, its been said this war was planned in Bushes time, by the Zionists..you start to dig deeper its an eye opener.
The media, in my opinion, generally plays to the hands of the biggest mafias of the world.. pharmaceuticals and arms industry. They make us believe and think exactly what they want (like the pied piper) and we follow them with our eyes closed. How do we break away from the trance?
One doesn't have to take responsibility for one's own actions.
If one can use a supernatural power to fall back on, it is much more powerful than any other manmade club (which may have to take responsibility in some form or other)
the only problem is, presently, they can use the guise of religion to draw naive people in.
Religion is still stronger than beards
Was the holocaust such a bad thing ?
Depends if you survived it !
In the end I think its a circular reference mate.. we could keep going round and round in this argument. Bottom line is that you cannot blame religion for being open to interpretation. The blame lays with people who either A) are ignorant and follow people with closed eyes and B) intentionally lead the ignorant people astray following their own bad intentions be it money or power or land what have you..
Nothing is all good or all bad.
I was educated to believe that religion was good and wasn't to be questioned. B
ut i learned for myself that it sure is.
That everything in life should be questioned.
Anything followed blindly is dangerous.
Now that doesn't mean that cutting down trees for usage or slaughtering animals for food isn't being compassionate. All life has meaning. Cutting down trees needlessly or killing animals for sport would count as being cruel to me. But doing so for consumption would be fine as long as there is no wastage and is for survival.
Even animals can be killed with compassion and respect.
South American indians always give thanks to the animal for giving up its life to feed them. That is showing the animals respect even in death.
If history isn't learned from, it is repeated.
If not now then maybe another time when you've had coffee..
It was Ian insisted on the other
In the cattle cars the passengers were given hardly any food except a little water and some inedible soup. There was scarcely any air to breathe as everyone was jammed together and the cars had only a few small windows covered with bars. A hole in the floor served as a toilet. Some of the people, especially the infants became sick immediately and died. The bodies of those who died on the journey were left on the side of the tracks. Alive people were looking for a grain in each other stools just to have something to put in the mouth.
After one month the train reached some Siberian center. In this case, scores of wagons were transferred onto enormous barges and sent up the River Ob to some remote settlement to live in a bug-infested hut.
Could continue horror stories on and on...
Virtually no one has been called to account for what was done. The West has chosen to forget these horrors. Nothing of these horrors is taught in their schools. There is no grand museums dedicated to those whose lives were destroyed by the communists. It mostly just remembered in the hearts and souls of the victims.
