Right... So basically what you are saying is that given a Choice between sending aid to Greece or Sending Aid To Bengal, Churchill personally is responsible for Genocide?
Righteo.
Incidently, I noticed that you've not actually addressed the actual referenced source which we can all access, which does not class the Bengali Famine as Genocide and that Churchill and indeed the British Armed forces impact on the famine are nowhere near what you are suggesting. Perhaps you should edit it?
Still nevermind hey? By the way Hopi, what do you? I'd ike to know so I can avoid you in anyway. With a mind like yours, your dangerous.
You are a holocaust denier, plain and simple. The list of books will bring you up to speed on the facts and nothing but your own fear of the truth is stopping you axxessing them Is there no library nearby?. If, like pogie, you wish to remain in ignorance well and good, but would stop challanging others elsewhere for doing what you yourself are at here.
BTW, the Greece thing is a stupid red herring and I'm surprised that you can't see the nonsense of it.

It is quite tedious. Especially since you've not read one of them Hopi. but going by your realm of thought in order to have a "debate" or in fact just to get you to actually support your assertions with references (not a biblography of books you haven't read), one must go out a buy or lend books, read them which could take weeks and months merely to find that your assertions aren't supported by the source material you claim supports your assertion of Genocide?
Well thats fantastic...
Are you a retard? You have been asked to provide actual evidence and quotes. You've failed to do so in a spectuactular fashion. Indeed, the one source which is readily available to all, you don't want to discuss in the slightest. Why is this?If, like pogie, you wish to remain in ignorance well and good, but would stop challanging others elsewhere for doing what you yourself are at here.
Why is it a red herring?BTW, the Greece thing is a stupid red herring and I'm surprised that you can't see the nonsense of it.
Holocaust denial should be made illegal in Ireland and carry a ten year sentence, and a compulsory appology to the cheif rabbi of ireland and the jewish community of Ireland.
A quote,
"The Forgotten Holocaust - The 1943/44 Bengal Famine
Dr Gideon Polya
THE FORGOTTEN HOLOCAUST - THE 1943/44 BENGAL FAMINE: impelled in part by global warming concerns, an account by Dr Gideon Polya of the man-made Bengal Famine of 1943/44 and the unresponsiveness of the world at the time to both the Bengal Famine and the Holocaust in Europe; the total or near-total ignoring in many historical texts and in global public perception of the Second World War Bengal Famine and other such horrendous events such as the Great Bengal Famine of 1769/1770, other Indian famines, the Irish famine (1845/46), genocide in Tasmania and mainland Australia in the 19th century and the genocide of the Armenians (1915); history ignored yields history repeated and global warming through greedy industrial profligacy may next century visit even worse disasters on Bengal and on other low-lying regions such as deltaic Egypt, Thailand, Louisiana and Holland. Remarkably, one of the biggest mortality events of the mid-20th century (that has been written about extensively by Amartya Sen (1998 Nobel Prize Winner for Economics) and which was the subject of the film “Distant Thunder” by world-famous Bengali film-maker Satyajit Ray) remains UNKNOWN to most in the English-speaking World - due to extraordinary, continuing academic and media holocaust denial involving self-censorship, lying by omission and intrinsic, covert racism.
This year marks the 50th anniversary of the end of World War 2 and the world will reflect on the human cost of this conflict. In particular we will remember the enormous loss of civilian life, particularly in Poland (6 million dead), the Soviet Union (20 million dead) and China (35 million dead). The Holocaust involving the deliberate extermination of 6 million Jews and half a million Gypsies has seared the human conscience, never to be forgotten. However a major man-made tragedy of similar proportions that occurred in Bengal in World War 2 has been effectively ignored by the world from the time it occurred. The man-made famine in Bengal in 1943-1944 killed an estimated 3.5 to 5 million people [1-7]."
One of the learned studies on the subject. All the titles given can be googled and as many quotes as you wish can be lifted. It might prove a day well spent on yours and pogies part. Not pleasant, but enlightening.
Get a grip. The chief rabbi in Ireland nor the Jewish community in Ireland expect any such thing and as far as I know have never asked for any such thing. If people see the error of their ways then any apology would be graciously accepted. A compulsory apology is worth nothing
