Holocaust memorial, and what is, and is not genocide

[Steve Hayes]

Last week there was a Holocaust memorial day, and it reminds us of the real
meaning of "genocide", which has been trivialised by applying it to all sorts
of things that are not genocide.

Yet another example of the real meaning of "genocide" being trivialised by
applying it to all sorts of things that are not genocide.

"I have fought against white domination and I have fought against
black domination" - Nelson Mandela, 1990

""The debate on the songs with inflammatory lyrics is important. When
we're moulding our country we need to say we unite all South Africans,
even those we fought against [during the struggle]. There's no need
for certain people to feel unwelcome in their country. We need to
include everyone in our country because the ANC will rule the country
until those that are dead rise back to life."
Jacob Zuma - last week.

Nicely put. These farm murders are all sorts of horrible, as are all
murders, but they are NOT genocide and the case that they ARE is
pretty flimsy.

So it is just coincedence that they are much more frequent per capita ?

More frequent per capita than what?

They are? People make all sorts of claims, but without reliable stats
and a clear definition of the target group it's hard to put trust in
them. Clearly not every murder on farm can qualify for your purposes,
and for those that do we'd need to consider motive as well.
