At the beginning of the 12th century the word storm meant in Old French "favorable wind", then became "wind", in order to define in contemporary times the meteorological phenomenon that everyone knows.
Holocaust is indeed a term of religious origin, but it was consecrated in the 20th century as the definition of the mass extermination of a people.
Who speaks of an animal holocaust these days? We speak more readily of animal sacrifice.
The language evolves ... but hey I know that you have a little trouble with evolution! : Mrgreen:

The Hebrew term Shoah is not trivial and has no place in Republican discourse.
On the religious point of view la Shoah is part of a process of redemption, even of a divine punishment inflicted on the Jewish people following their abandonment of the Torah...

Holocaust is indeed a term of religious origin, but it was consecrated in the 20th century as the definition of the mass extermination of a people.
In ancient Israel, a religious sacrifice where the victim, an animal, was entirely consumed by fire; the victim thus sacrificed.
 Bloody sacrifice performed for religious purposes.
 All the persecutions, mistreatments and exterminations of which the Jews were the victims by the Nazis between 1939 and 1945. (In this sense, often takes a capital letter.) [→ genocide.]
 Massacre, great destruction of people, things, inspired by an ideology.
Larousse
Consecrated (which is also a religious term) I would rather say recovered because being part of a usual language for a France under religious domination for two millennia.
Who speaks of an animal holocaust these days? We speak more readily of animal sacrifice.
it's the same thing! it's just a quantitative notion that separates the two now.
Offering to a deity and, in particular, immolation of victims.
Effort voluntarily produced, penalty voluntarily accepted for a religious purpose of expiation or intercession
. Larousse
This is the case with slaughterhouses!
Indeed, this is indeed an extermination (a shoah in Hebrew) of a particular category rather than others (we do not kill cats and dogs for breeding provided)
The language evolves ... but hey I know that you have a little trouble with evolution!
I have no problem with evolution, quite the contrary! My job was (and the rest) based on evolution (ideas, inventive spirit, which successive achievements demonstrate as realistic). It is not applicable to the living! So no evolution of the living since no proof has been provided!
The Hebrew term Shoah is not trivial and has no place in Republican discourse.
This is exactly what I said above. It is and remains only specific to Hebrews.
From a religious point of view the Shoah is part of a process of redemption,
?????
Want to talk about this?
http://shoah-solutionfinale.fr/genphilo.htm
it is only a point of view which is not shared by all the rabbis.
see a divine punishment inflicted on the Jewish people following their abandonment of the Torah ...
There is no divine punishment, it is superstition!
This comes from an inevitable but wrong anthropomorphic interpretation. Indeed, each one, each one is responsible for his choices and acts which carry in themselves their beneficial or negative effects, which merge with the choices of the companies themselves. We are in COP21 which, finally, recalls that it is not the State which is particularly responsible for the situation, but each of us and it is the whole which generates this "punishment" which could be a holocaust planetary.
Otherwise it's like considering that a child who plays with matches and burns himself would be the victim of a punishment from his parents: it's absurd! But the parents' role is to warn that if the child plays with matches, he risks being burned, setting fire to the forest and causing dozens of "innocent" victims; hence the laws of the Torah or our secular / religious laws.
To convince you:

This kind of character, whom I did not listen to, is entitled to express his point of view as others do for Islamists by confusing them with Daesh! Everyone is responsible for what they say, which is only for themselves as for AIDS!

My two euro cents: does it bother them because it's a taboo subject?

The use of certain words brings us on the slippery slope of "false revisionism", when precisely a part of those who are taxed "revisionists"they revolt on the denial of the disappearance of"certain groups of victims"- recovery that it would be beneficial to do without distinction of any ethnicity or membership of any social group whatsoever but then in this case, the number of victims would jump to 17 million >>> remarkable work on this subject on Wikipedia - and that what they want to restore the closest count, would be figures which according to them would be incorrect, and this precisely by aiming for a correct balance sheet of victims (which is precisely the opposite of negationism). Nor should they be considered "revisionists", as long as an official and final, undisputed balance sheet has not been established by the international community (at the time, because now it is almost done to within 1 million out of 66 million).

In reality, if we accepted the initial figure of 6 million (of Jews exterminated in the camps), that wouldn't have changed much, that's about it. But that was not the question, it was to fall once and for all on the right figures.

I'm not talking about "false "revisionists, those whose objective is purely and simply to deny the genocide of a given ethnic group to make some sort of demonstration afterwards. Or for "appropriate the dead"which is the purpose of forgery ...

We had already debated these words "holocaust, shoah"and the fact was surely not in the question of negationism (which must be condemned wherever it comes from) only by the fact that these words tend to focus atrocities too much on a given ethnic group and to make it a sort of "privileged victimization" to lead to an amalgamation (such drama = / ≠ to such persecution) which is totally unfair for 60 million victims! (Even if they did not die in the camps, they nevertheless deserve a tribute)

Thus we hear here and there, that those who would be qualified as negationists / revisionists would be accused of wanting to hide all or part of reality. While they (thus falsely considered) on the contrary defend (and have defended) the idea "that a correct count establishes victims, would help precisely to avoid any denial afterwards ". They do not want either, that an ethnic group (compared to another, no matter which one) "appropriate the dead" of the other group, to magnify the reality of the facts and make greater ostentation of this victimization (moreover I believe that there is only one group which instrumentalizes this victimization, look for which ...).

I believe that the discussions around this macabre accounting as much as the use of terms too targeted on a given group, do not really contribute to the construction of peace. But for the dignity of the dead, a proper toll should be called for by ALL survivors and families of the victims - regardless of their differences - and it is only fair that they have done so. And not lead (as has been the case for decades) to the fact that those who demanded a more precise assessment, are instantly classified as "revisionists" (if indeed a generally accepted assessment had never been made at the time? And if indeed the job of "auditor" is a monstrosity that would condemn them to public execration).

What is curious is that those who, through the initial figures possibly erroneous because loaded, would have wanted to increase the count for the "benefit" of a given group to "obtain better visibility" (if at all the case in reality) would then themselves initially also be revisionists (see forgers) ...

Be that as it may, the clumsy instrumentalization of these words (which is not unjustifiable given the initial context, but after a while you have to turn the page) has the unfortunate tendency to contribute to a "self-perpetuating victimization"which is a little experienced as" having to end in a fatality of persecution "(which the facts show that it is not), which it would be well precisely to avoid if the concerned wish to get out of this vicious circle (and to do a fair "work of memory"). Since we see that the affirmation of differences in an ostentatious way, tends to perpetuate the stigma (and to maintain the hatred and the condemnations). This is why some consider that it It would be good to generalize the use of the words in question (or not to use some of them too "identified" with a particular cause), to paradoxically stop focusing hatred on said group. At the same time there are other words in the vocabulary to allow their use to be stopped in order to stop another blamed ambiguity: which would be to discriminate in horror (why the massacre of a human being, could be worse than the massacre of another of a different ethnicity and how does one word devr to differentiate what happened to some, compared to what happened to others ?!)

I specify that this reflection has nothing to do with the facts produced (that any manipulation must be excluded in this regard, this is only an open substantive discussion). It would be unheard of and shameful to deny the genocide of populations during the Second World War, regardless of their origin. No more than that should justify an endless perpetuation of the victimization which could result from it, and which is then used as justification to perpetrate new ill-treatment, even crimes linked in particular to territorial expansion (based on the same pretexts and others safe drifts.)

A necessary assessment of victims must not become a symbol of persecution and then serve as justification, otherwise it results in the application of a kind of Talion law from which one can never get out (even if it is possibly the aim pursued ).

They are the ones who can answer it, not me. I simply note that even taken in a "secular" way that does not detach them from their origin. Thus a Catholic can tell an anti-religious that he is using THEIR baby to qualify his secularism. From where these examples: of the calendar year AFTER JC, of ​​the beginning of this one (January being previously the 11 month of the year) decided by them also, of Sunday (even taken from the paganism of the worshipers of the sun) imposed at the Council of Trent, etc ... in fact, the anti-religious submitting to Catholic systems that they do not deny, they just secularized them like the Soviet model too and even if France is one of the pillars of the atheism, Catholicism remains dominant (which has nothing to do, confusion is often made, with baptized and practicing in the churches) and, at first glance, the number of our leaders are believers like Chirac, de Gaulle or Jospin who did not hide it besides.

The Durban Declaration is a document signed by more than 5000 doctors and scientists, including eleven Nobel laureates, in the 2000s, stating that HIV is the cause of AIDS1. This statement follows the contestation of the responsibility for HIV in AIDS by certain people, in particular the South African president at the time, Thabo Mbeki. The Declaration was published in the journal Nature for the International AIDS Conference in 2000, held in Durban, South Africa.
The statement states that the evidence that HIV causes AIDS is clear, comprehensive and unequivocal.
To sign the document, it was necessary to have a doctorate, an MD or equivalent, and, to avoid conflicts of interest, scientists who worked for commercial companies were not authorized to sign.

This is not the question. The question is, what is the scientific reality on this? Negationism would be to deny this reality (as far as we know it and that it is reliable)! Clearly the concentration of what you call "a scientific consensus" is in too few hands, and more in the hands of an elite who refuses to share the data of its work with other researchers! This de facto prevents any negationism.

You have a funny idea of ​​the definition of this word: "political consensus"everyone should call it data confiscation instead! : Shock:
So we should stop sowing confusion (whatever the reason.)
In any case, "added warming" to natural warming is not even enough to sell us nuke: too late!

This is not the question. The question is, what is the scientific reality on this. Holocaust denial would be to deny this reality

It is not a scientific "consensus". This is the only opinion of the IPCC, which fires the skeptical scientists of its group, while keeping the names in its lists to inflate these so-called supporters of the consensus and bluff the gogos! For years the "dissidents" having left the IPCC had great difficulty in being struck off the lists.
