How about the food we throw away every day..would that be considered genocide for hungry people from Somalia? What i don't like about the holocaust, is the dimension it's still presented in the media.

Why do we have so many news about Israel and NOTHING about the perpetuum hunger in some countries in Africa? .. Again, i'm just trying to make a point about the scales .. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, "850 million people worldwide were undernourished in 1999 to 2005" and the number of hungry people has recently been increasing widely. I mean .. if you want to talk about genocide .. let's talk about that .. about the food we all trow away.
I don't have anything against Jew people (i am 12.5% jew) or Americans, or Russians ..or Chinese. The fact is that mass media can be used to better things. WHY IS THE HOLOCAUST EVEN ON THE TABLE? It's a shameful chapter in history .. we all get it, how about the others? how about the ones we can do something about?
