    “Genocide begins, however improbably, in the conviction that classes of biological distinction indisputably sanction social and political discrimination” (Dworkin). Genocides are mass killings of people, targeted and purposefully killed because of their faith or what nation they represent. In other words, large amounts of people were killed because of discrimination and hatred that turns violent and destructive. Innocent people are dying in genocides by others who are unforgiving and merciless or have a weak mentality.

    Many believe that the Syrian war has been prolonged by outside involvement contributing to the war in Syria. A big conflicting matter is the support of different oppositions when going from country to country. Recently a big issue is Russia’s support to the Assad Regime against the United States’s support for the Syrian Rebels. This truly is believed to be the single largest factor contributing to prolonged war and failure of reconciliation efforts (Document F). US led coalition airstrikes and Russian airstrikes have also played a big part in delaying the end to the war in Syria.

  • Holocaust Vs Darfur

    421 Words  | 2 Pages

    The idea of genocide has always existed throughout the world, ever since people struggled for power, wealth, and resources, as well as the concept of superiority and inferiority. As a more superior group of people gain power, they form new ideas of making a perfect society for them to live in. They start to terminate everyone else who are considered inferior to them or either those who oppose, which is a typical way of how genocide occurs. In Nazi Germany, soldiers under the leadership of Hitler had attempted to annihilate the entire “inferior” race, which they believed were hindering their nation. While in Darfur, militias under the order of the Sudanese government massacre rebels, as well as terrorize villages where innocent civilians live.

    The Kindertransport was a rescue association, which brought around 10,000 refugee children (of which approximately 7,500 were Jewish) to Great Britain during the Holocaust between 1938 and 1940. “The history of the Kindertransport is a poignant tale of rescue, separation, loss and integration following the persecution of the Jews in the Nazi Reich and countries annexed by the Germans” (Holocaust Education). This is a well-known rescue movement of children. “The Movement for the Care of Children from Germany”, later known as the Refugee Children’s Movement, started the Kindertransport.

These leaders only see them as people who are trying to get into their country to escape the civil war, but fail to see that the refugees are also risking their lives in the process. At present, there are approximately 54.5 million refugees that are displaced, the largest refugee crisis the world has ever seen and they have nowhere to go. The question of doing the right thing and taking them in has been squashed due to various reasons and it appears to be that each country has adopted the ‘each man for himself’ policy by stating that it is their duty to only look after its citizens and no one else.
