Why does it sound like that to you?
Genocide wasn’t invented by Hitler. It was “industrial” in a sense that technology from the industrial age was used and that it happened on a large geographic area, so it was different in those ways.
Nazis killed millions of Jews and Slavs (and some others). Turks genocided millions of Armenians by forcing them into the desert. Britain starved millions of Indians. England killed millions of Irish. Europeans killed millions of indigenous people in the Americas and millions more in Africa (Belgium is responsible for some 10 million deaths in Congo alone).
Why single one of those out as the worst?
Westerners only single out the Jewish genocide because 😱 they were white! None of the other genocided peoples are white, so it’s OK.
