David Cameron and the Holocaust
The word 'Holocaust' does not belong to the Jews.I was just about to write a really positive item about something good happening in Our Country and then I was forced to change my mind.
First I could find no good news and secondly I found yet another article in the press attacking David Cameron, for labeling the visits to Auschwitz by school children as a gimmick.
On the first point about the good news, it is extremely depressing to discover that apart from the continued growth of the British National Party, there is nothing to write about of a positive nature.
Our Country, from which so many great inventions and ideas sprung from, now leads the world in nothing but despair and self hatred of our skin colour and history. So moving on.
Of course the governments plans for the visits to the concentration camp are a gimmick. But a gimmick with a duel purpose. The children will return with a sense of guilt and a feeling of obligation to support any actions carried out by Israel and the Jews and more shameful. Distraction.
The holocaust was a terrible time in the history of the world. The deaths of 6 million people dieing in horrendous ways is right up there with the quoted figure of 20 million people who died because of Stalin and communism. However, historians have since calculated that the true numbers killed, should be nearer 62 million.
Should we send our children to the Gulags to learn about the evil of communism? A disease still with us.
But you cannot measure such atrocities against humanity in how many died. Did the families of a tank crew, killed whilst liberating Europe grieve any less than the families of those who died in a concentration camp? Everyone loses and grieves in a time of evil.
And what about the mountains of skulls created in Cambodia by Pol Pot, another crazed communist? What about the 2 million deaths there, when another madman took his country back to Year Zero. Should we send our children to see these mountains of skulls to remind them of the evil of communism?
And then there was the genocide of the Armenians, when the Turks murdered 1.2 million, or is that figure too low to warrant a trip to those mass burial grounds by our children?
No. David Cameron, a man I personally loath, should stand his ground. This is a labour gimmick. Millions of deaths used by Labour to start an argument that detracts the sheep people from the crimes and corruption of their government. A shameful gimmick. Nothing more.
UPDATE
There is a poem here that you may like over at Quod in mente.
