We had rucks with Doc Cruel about this for months on the old News General. The Armenian massacre was horrendous, a systematic cold-blooded genocide carried out by both Turks and Kurds. The word was invented as a result of this. Unbelievably horrible what people do to each other.
Worse, by way of numbers, was Stalin's little enterprise. Australian Aborigines. American Aborigines.
The above is true. The terrible thing is that it is mostly forgotten.
Baloo gets slightly miffed that the Jews try to not forget what happened to them...or allow it to be forgotten.
But to quote Baloo he has, in the past, referred to this as "The Holocaust Industry".

Miffed? Nah. Just calling it out for what it is. Eyes wide open. Critical faculty engaged. No vested interest or romantic self-delusion.

Noam Chomsky on the subject: "QUESTION: What dimension does the Holocaust play in this equation? Is it manipulated by the Israeli state to promote its own interests? CHOMSKY: It’s very consciously manipulated. I mean, it’s quite certainly real, there’s no question about that, but it is also undoubted that they manipulate it. In fact, they say so. For example, in the Jerusalem Post, in English so you can read it, their Washington correspondent Wolf Blitzer, I don’t recall the exact date, but after one of the big Holocaust memorial meetings in Washington he wrote an article in the Jerusalem Post in which he said it was a great success." chomsky.info/dissent01/Bloody Anglicans! |

They've been showing a lot of footage of the deportation of Jews here during WWII. By way of apology I suppose. It really is heart-rending and I don't watch it any more.

The French? They do love a bit of nostalgia. A trip down memory lane to cheer themselves up.

Hardly. But you're right on the nostalgia front - the repeats on telly are incroyable. But the old war footage is amazing; it seems like nothing much changed between 1945 and the beginning of the 70s - cobbled streets, Gauloises, old men in berets and blues. Shame it's all changed.

Looking like Turkey is wanting to settle over 2 million Arab Syrians in Kurdish Syria as an attempt to change the population balance.

so, where is his response then, this has been going on for hours and not a peep, and as you say when he ever silent, some minor sleb' mentions his tiny hands and within 30 secs he's all over twitter denouncing it and squawking like a dropped baby, yet Turkey invading, what was until 2 days ago a US Allie, nothing.

America is going through a recession at the moment ? I have doubts about the sustainability of the current economics, but we're definitely not in recession yet. |

Anyway, this is exactly what Trump planned and invited the Turks to do with his call to the fascist Erdogan the other day.

Here's how Edrogan deals with mere protesters, sends his goons to beat the crap out of them. This was in Washington D.C.
