#Neveragain is not an empty hash tag

There was a time when "never again" was the kind of trite ending kids put in their term papers on the 'Holocaust' (Shoah). Sometimes it was hard to tell whether their meaning was there should not be any genocides again or more specifically a genocide of Jews again. If the latter, it would (of course) be the same unprincipled nationalism (Nazism) that caused the disaster ( Shoah) to be termed a bur Read more of this blog post »
