Genocide vs. Holocaust

 

Genocide is the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group

 

Holocaust is destruction or slaughter on a mass scale, especially caused by fire or nuclear war.

 

Holocaust is the mass murder of Jewish people under the German Nazi regime during the period 1941–5. More than 6 million European Jews, as well as members of other persecuted groups such as Romani and gay people, were murdered at concentration camps such as Auschwitz.

 

Massacre an indiscriminate and brutal slaughter of people.

 

Slaughter is the killing of animals for food or trophy.

 

Butchery, carnage, murder, holocaust, slaying, destruction, extermination, liquidation, annihilation are all good descriptions of human behavior.

 

No matter what term you use. We (as a species) enjoy taking life from another.

 

Other neighbors of this blue marble will take another’s life for survival, but we (homo sapiens) do it for the joy of watching another die.

 

What possible belief would cause a line of people with weapon line up against another line of people with weapons and clash to do harm, mayhem and death to one another?

 

The newsreels present the daily body count and we wait for the social media videos of the carnage. It is just like a video game or the latest movie spectacular with explosions and flashes of light and quick takes of one angle to another then the sad crying over the body parts then turning to seek revenge. It is a never-ending battle.

 

Hunting and fishing are licensed and legal murder. If they can’t talk to you then it is acceptable to come across another who is doing you no harm and kill them. Put the trophy up on the wall.

 

So the daily news tells of mass murders and the public reaction is appalling. Light the candles, say the prayers and tomorrow will be another body count.

 

This is buffalo skulls collected to be used for fertilizer. We did this.
