The Role Of The Genocide In Syria

One can found a good bit of similarities and differences within the Holocaust and the genocide going on it Syria. Such as ethnic groups being targeted, Usa refusing to allow refugees, and the tacked they used to kill the people the were targeting.

In both situations, the government is inflicting death upon the civilians in gruesome ways. In Syria, the government are dropping chemical and barrel bombs on civilians. In Germany, the government of Adolf Hitler was killing Jews in gas chambers. In addition, both countries’ leaders are hated world wide (Al-Assad and Hitler). Another similarity between both historical events is that the Jews and the Syrians Refugees both were/are not accepting with open arms into other countries. The Jews and Syrian Refugees were/are believed to bring in unwanted trouble (at the time Jews were thought to be “harbingers of dangerous

The Iraq Genocide was an action of slaughter against the Kurdish individuals , because Ali Hussain was the President's cousin did not want the Kurdish to have their own rebellion or them to have land and independence for themselves. This Genocide was the presidents mistake and his cousins fault for selfish reasons against the kurds

So far, more than 1 out of 10 Syrians have been wounded or killed since the beginning of the war in 2011. “Syria’s civil war has created the worst humanitarian crisis of our time. Half the country's pre-war population — more than 11 million people — have been killed or forced to flee their

In the past 150 years, tens of millions of men, women and children have lost their lives to ethnic cleansing or genocide. Although the definition is often scrutinized, according to Merriam Webster, "Genocide is the deliberate and systematic destruction of a racial, political or cultural group". The most notable event associated with the term is the Holocaust. Stated by Judah Gribets, Edward Greenstein and Regina Stein, "nearly six million Jews fell victim to genocide during the years of the Holocaust". Of This number, one million were children who were unable to take care of themselves. People's hopes and dreams for the future were stripped from them, and many families were ripped apart. Many of these people were tortured or raped

Genocide is the organized and widespread termination, or attempted execution of an entire national, racial, religious, or ethnic group (www.freedictionary.com). Over 1 million Iraqi’s have been killed in genocide. Genocide in Iraq started in the year 1991, even though many people thought it started in 2003. It is important to think about this problem, because people need to know about the history, and about the struggles people have to endure to keep our country together. It is also important because people need to know what is happening in the world, as of today. The famous Sadaam Hussein is known all around the world for his vindictive acts, leading to genocide. Threats of killing a large number of people have impacted the U.S. and Iraq

Over the past four years, the situation within the Syria has become more and more dangerous. As many as 6.7 million people, have been displaced from their homes within the country alone. Another 4 million have fled the country entirely, in order to get away from the incessant fighting. An estimated 200,000 people have been killed over the course of the war, but the country is so

Even though the civil war in syria lasted longer than the Holocaust, the children in the Holocaust suffered a lot more than in syria The children were being used to directly fight in the front line. For example taking parts in combats roles, like suicide bombing or as a prison guard. 2.8 million kids lived in hard to reach areas and 280,000 lived in siege. A siege is a place surrounded by soldiers and no one can get out. That made it hard for children to seek help. An education was hard for children to get, it was extremely unsafe, so many kids left. Food is hard to reach now that a lot of markets are destroyed. Many people have started growing their own food supplies in small kitchen gardens. The starvation rate has gone up so much that some people have started cooking leaves off trees. Nearly 2 million people have no access to any water since the bombing cut of power to the pumps.

The Holocaust was undertaken by Adolph Hitler to extinguish an entire race, the Jewish People. Similarly, for the past five years, four million Syrian refugees have been displaced and in need of new residential areas while more than 11.6 million people have been affected by the civil war in Syria. Like in the Holocaust, the Roma, physically and mentally disabled, communists and homosexuals were targeted; not just the Jewish population. Both events demonstrate the inhumanity of our times where a piece of paper with a stamp on it is the difference between life and death.

During World War Two the Jewish people were being “exterminated” by their fellow neighbors, own government and even their own loyal worshipers. They were not even being attacked for a valid reason, this was all set into motion by the beliefs of Adolf Hitler, German Dictator. Hitler held beliefs known as anti-semitism, he was not the first person to hate the Jewish people as a whole, but he was the first person to establish an entire army and country against them. Many of the Jewish people began to flee the country, in hope to escape the genocide. This task became extremely difficult when neighboring countries realized why they were fleeing. The refugees were denied access into the United States and Cuba, but later were taken in by very few countries in Europe and in the surrounding areas .

Humanitarian crises and international politics goes hand in hand. One can cause the other, while the only way to fix the other is to rely on politics. This paper will highlight the cause of genocide, violent massacres and crisis, how to solve them, and key roles politicians and nations must take up wholeheartedly in order to make a difference. Personal and political reconciliation must occur in the parties involved ever want to have a mutual co existence.

Humans tend to feel morally compelled to help others in times of tragedy and chaos; however, there are limitations on the force of compassion. During recent and historical genocides, many outsiders’ universes of obligation have narrowed due to social and political factors, turning them into bystanders of ethnic crisis. Similarly, the world was unresponsive to the ethnic eradication of Tamils in Sri Lanka since 1983. For twenty-six years, tens of thousands of helpless Tamils suffered as human shields for the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) and were caught in the crossfire of a civil war between the extremist group and the national government. The collective desire for the United States, UN, and Sri Lankan government to maintain

The initiation of the 1980s Turkish Martial Law gave rise and effect to the oppression and unchecked legislative actions of the Turkish government against a member of its minority population, Kurdish citizens. This paper provides a critical analysis of Turkish state political violence towards is Kurdish minority population post 1980. The analysis provides and examination of the “Turkifying” methods used to dissolve Kurdish identity and assimilate citizens of the state to Turkish identities. The assimilation methods and practices led to to human rights violations conducted by the Turkish government and overlooked by the international community. State induced violence topics of discussion include: Kurdish citizen abductions (state “disappearances”), state authorized torture, the examination of the parameters for Legal Decree 430, state detention facilities and response to Kurdish citizen resistance. The conclusive evidence provided in this analysis identifies the Turkish State agenda for state nationalism without respect to civil liberties or international human rights law post 1980.

I see genocides happening in countries that are all that developed or their government is not all that well structured or may have a corrupt leader. This makes me predict that Syria may be the next to suffer from a genocide with a civil war still going on and many fleeing, more than 5.6 million Syrians , according to the UN HIgh Commissioner for Refugees. The country to get out of the chaos. When the civil war began in 2011, there were four main groups throughout the country the Kurdish forces, ISIS and other opposition like Jaish al Fateh, a alliance between the Nusra Front and Ahrar-al-Sham. This caused major separation in Syria people choosing who to fight for, many protest against the government's complete corruption. The government has

Syrian civil war started in 2011 was the outcome of the opposition against the President Bashar al-Assad regime. The uprising emerged as a response to the Arab spring movement that lead to regime change in Tunisia and subsequently turned into mass unrest rooted into the discontent with long-term dictatorship and poor economic situation in the country (Manfreda, n.d.). The number of Syrian citizens killed in the civil war reached 140000 since March 2011 (SBS 2014). The European Commission (2014, 2) reports approximately 9.3 million civilians “in need for humanitarian assistance”. The scale of armed rebellion between government and opposition that lead to an increasing number of casualties among civilians did not remain unnoticed by the
