re: #140 lawhawk

There is indeed a spectrum of human rights crimes (under international law) which ranges from ethnic cleansing up to genocide (which when referred to as such, is supposed to invoke the Genocide Conventions). The Holocaust was a particular kind of genocide, which specifically targeted Jews for death on an industrial scale. Some historians call it democide, but however you call it - it’s mass murder on an incomprehensible scale.

Fully agreed. It just worries me that people always seem to think the next act of genocide will always resemble the last one. I know we’ll never see another Holocaust, but I wonder what tensions are currently brewing that could explode into another act of genocide.
