25th of January marked the 70th anniversary of Liberation of Auscvitz concentration camp by the Red Army of Soviet Union.
More that 1.1 million people. Mostly Jews , were murdered by Nazis between 1940 and 1945, when the camp was liberated by the Soviet Red Army.
Some 300 survivors from across the world returned for a ceremony commemorating the event. Given the age of the survivors, this is expected to be the last of such event.
World only begin to learn of horrors of Auschwitz after pictures and films begin to be released to the Public.
Anger, sadness and shame was the reaction of humanity to this heinous crime. Never Again! People around the world said Never Again we’ll allow this to happen. For people to be systematically murdered for their race, religion or political beliefs….
Sadly, 70 years on, looking at the world around us, we see the failure of humanity to keep to that promise.
In Syria alone, hundreds of thousands of civilians are murdered in a conflict between warring factions who have absolutely no regards for the lives of human beings. In Syria the descendents of very same heroic soviet troops who liberated the Auschwitz camp are busy murdering unarmed mothers and their children by dropping bombs on their heads from high above, under the pretext of “war against terrorism”
Surely it is time for the entire world to wake up and see these criminal acts for what they are. Crimes no less heinous than those of Auschwitz.
Time for the good and Peace loving people around the world to wake up to the fact that there are alternatives to an economic system governed by greed, fear and apathy. An economic system energized by war, militarism, racism and hatred.
Time to say: NEVER AGAIN.
which side do we need to take ? assad , his goons ex-soviets and Iri company, or isis and various coalition of islamists of vahabi flavor!
I heard there are celebrations planned at iranian.com headquarters to commemorate the event. Esteemed IC members such as PJ, Bavafa, Iraj Khan, Dohelzan, and Ayatoilet1 will be going wild over there...dancing, drinking, talking about the good 'ol times when Jews were put in there place....
Here on iroon.com, there will be a similar party at the home of minimalist / comrade / pendar nik, etc...
The list of the Esteemed IC @$$wipes is much much longer....!
Dear MRX:
To achieve Peace and stability in Middle east, first the cancer of Islamist regime of Iran needs to be removed. No Peace in Middle east so long as Islamist Regime of Iran is in place
Had it not been for IRI active support and guidannce, Beshar Assad would not have cracked down on peaceful demonstrations of Syrians asking for democracy during the so called Arab spring, killing thousands of unarmed peaceful demonstrators. Had it not been for Assad and Islamist Regime's behaviour the ISIS would not have been in existance. Saudi Arabia would not have a chance to interfere, Russia would not be bombing, hundreds of thousands of innocent lives would have been saved.
Islamic Republic leadership -- So called Reformist and non reformist and all-- have to stand trial for the death of civilans in Syria. No question on that....
Dear AO and ICW:
It is many moons since I visited that cess pool of IRI propaganda known as iranian.com . But in my opinion hundreds of those faceless nameless 24/7 islamist propagandists are not worth a single hair of that little Syrian boy from Kobane whose lifeless body was abandoned on the shores of mediteranean sea....
I visted Auschwitz and Berkanau a few yewars back. By far, the single most distrubing visit I had ever made to any particular place.................Human beings have a long way to go - if ever - to achieve the state of mind where war, greed and hatered aren't the main driving force in how we manage our world.
