Genocide

Genocide. Bunyi cam bess je this word. The Compact Oxford English Dictionary (that is always readily available at my workstation), defines genocide (noun) as;

the deliberate killing of a very large number of people
from a particular ethnic group or nation


I was surfing through wikipedia when I bumped into this word. This word was linked from the article on Holocaust. Camne plak tetibe i am interested to search through wikipedia plak neh? Actually, i was educating myself on the current situation in Gaza. I wanted to know how it all started (from waaaaaayyyyy back from what i've read), who are involved and why (this is where I bumped into Holocaust).


Barulah skrang aku tau that there is thing called the British Mandate of Palestine and then the United Nations Partition Plan which is to divide Palestine into a Jewish & Arab State.


And you can say that the rest is history. Or the rest is horrifically bad history.
