As a Jew I feel compelled to speak up as say that CyberRabbi does not speak for Jews, and that anti-caste is nothing like Holocaust or cultural genocide, and the insinuation of such is offensive to me.

I speak for myself, Elijah Cohen and I am a Jew whose grandparents survived the Holocaust. Is there a problem? Why are you bringing my religion into this?

Because apparently the use of the word ‘genocide’ cannot be appropriated by non Jewish people.

Bengal famine that was a man made famine by British wiped out 1/3 of the population of one state. That’s 10 million people. And there were many more. We were shipping cotton to England instead of growing grain for our people. Indians understand genocide.

The British were scrupulously color-blind in their callousness and let 1/3 of white Irish starve to death in 1847, or white Boer during the Boer War.
