This is a poor analogy. The Soviet famine of 1931–33 was neither intentional nor weaponized. The “Holomodor” narrative was Nazi propaganda, and the “Holomodor” name was coined by Banderite fascists in the late 1980s to evoke associations with the Holocaust.
The Holodomor Industry. The ‘Bandera Lobby’ and the ‘Ukrainian Holocaust’ industry
Douglas Tottle, 1987, Fraud, famine and fascism: the Ukrainian genocide myth from Hitler to Harvard:
Yep. The Irish "potato" famine would be a better analogy - maybe that's a part of why Irish politicians are at least paying lip service to Gaza, when compared to most of the rest of EU.
@balsoft @davel
The Britts didn't shoot abd kill starving Irish people like Israel and their American mercenaries doing ever day
That's almost true, the Brits did shoot and kill quite a few Irishmen, just not during the famine.
@balsoft that is a whole different subject. nothing like we see daily in Gaza
Not trying to diminish the Gaza situation. I agree Israel is committing deliberate genocide right now and it needs to stop.
