Genocide in South Africa

I would kindly like to inform you about the ongoing white genocide in the Republic of South-Africa. Since 1994, the end of the so-called Apartheid, whites people, especially white farmers, have been subject to extremely brutal and racist murders. About 50 people on average are murdered in South-Africa per day, of which at least 20 of them are whites(95+ % black on white murder rate). Please take into consideration that white people make up only 9% (4 500 000) of the demographics in South-Africa and therefore the white murder rate in South-Africa is quite significant. http://www.genocidewatch.org/southafrica.html

This article is Bias towards the Holocaust and in denial of the White Genocide in South Africa.

The neutrality of this article is disputed as giving to much attention to the Holocaust and downplaying other holocausts like the The Holodomor in Ukraine and the white Genocide in South Africa.

The Genocide in South Africa is being perfected by calling the Genocide "ordinary crime" and ignoring other supporting Genocidal programs like Affirmative Action against a minority.

Here is an example of methods used by Zionists to edit Wikipedia. This method is used to propagandize the Holocaust and downplay the Holodomor, white genocide in South Africa, and other Genocides. The Palestinian Genocide will also not ne noted in this article, and all kinds of junk reasons used to censor the Palestinian Genocide: Course: Zionist Editing on Wikipedia http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t52LB2fYhoY

Terminology Error in Into

I think that the '80 UN nations' who have intergrated the UN Convention into their law did so into their 'DOMESTIC' law, not their 'municipal' law. I don't know how to make that change.

Another one?

Hi!: a remarkable question in dealing with genocides may be how far, or how early the concept could or should be applied: 1 Samuel 15:3-> Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy all that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys. The Amalek article in Wikipedia records the sentence from a Rabbin of Germans and Armenians being: 'Amalek', on the occasion of the Kaiser visiting the Holy Lands. A XXI century politician, in a nation placed East to Zyon, wears the surname: 'Malek'. 'Malek' sounds close to: 'Moloch', may: 'Amalek', be: 'Ab-Malek', the Moloch's men or tribe? (Moloch equals Saturn and Chronos) Regards.--Jgrosay (talk) 19:56, 25 September 2014 (UTC)

Raphael Lemkin's Connection to Coining the Term Genocide

The section discussing Raphael Lemkin's connection to the coining of the term could elaborate on his conception of the idea. He stated that it had two phases which included the destruction of an oppressed group, and the imposition of the suppressor's will. This definition further explains the concept and breaks away from traditional ideologies of a simple mass killing of a specific group. Mariah1160 (talk) 03:23, 24 January 2015 (UTC)

Guatemalan Genocide

This article makes no mention of the genocide of the Ixil people in Guatemala during the 80's, which I think should be changed. In 2013 Montt was found guilty of genocide and crimes against humanity; at the very least there should be a mention of it, since there is none now. The only time Guatemala is mentioned is in the further readings section. KatieTJF (talk) 21:08, 8 April 2015 (UTC)

Armenian 'Genocide'

I disagree with the use of 'Armenian genocide' when describing genocides of the past. This is a historical debate that continues today and this page should not be bias. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.245.73.233 (talk) 13:04, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

• It's not biased, it reflects a consensus among international historians, and is also clearly supported by historic material evidence. Denying that there was an Armenian genocide is fringe, and should not be given undue weight per Wikipedia's rules. Thomas.W ^talk 13:11, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

More evidence of how wikipedia is politicized

Now we are labelling any killings by a "Communist" government a genocide? Even when they don't actually target any ethnic group? Which is what a "genocide" is supposed to mean? Interesting and how very convenient — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.45.52.222 (talk) 03:58, 21 August 2015 (UTC)

"Intent to destroy" missing from lede – proposal to add

One of the most common misuses of term genocide in the media is ignorance or amnesia with respect to the "intent" part of the definition. The naive understanding is that, if a genocidal doesn't annihilate a group, that it somehow was "not genocide". For example, someone might believe, "Because there are Native Americans alive today, the United States did not eliminate all the Native American population, therefore the U.S.A. cannot be guilty of genocide against the Native Americans." This logic is incorrect, as the definition shows; the burden of proving genocide is to prove the intent to destroy… which is quite different than total destruction. I move that we should specifically include the word "intent" in the lede, as its a key part of the definition and is probably the most commonly misunderstood aspect of genocide among non-scholars.
