The Holocaust industry
I agree with George Browning’s article; however, the horrific things perpetrated by Hitler’s consort on European Jews, not to mention millions of others, do not mean Judaism has a claim on the word “holocaust”. Up to 10 million Congolese died under Belgian rule, Shashi Tahoor claims 120 million Indians died under British rule, and there have been countless other massive numbers of victims of European colonisation.
Norman Finkelstein wrote the book The Holocaust Industry after the 1967 Six-Day War, when Israel began refining its River to the Sea Crusade, all the while hiding its atrocities behind the Holocaust cloak. It has also used this cloak to blackmail the Western world to not only turn a blind eye to its genocide of Palestinians, but to arm and protect it as it commits mass murders.
In other words, Israel has blackmailed the world and has succeeded in the preposterous notion that criticism of a state is forbidden because it is founded on a religion. Herzl and Co, atheists, are laughing in their graves at the fraud they have perpetrated. In the meantime, humans are slaughtered, and we do nothing. Segal rules what Australians can speak, and the problem is Iran.
