This pathetic turd of a man is simply too ignorant and too stupid to know what he is talking about. He doesn't read, he doesn't know history, and he is too uninterested in learning anything. This is dangerous.

Raphael Lemkin Coined the Word Genocide. What Would He Say Today? | The Tyee The haunting story of the refugee driven to name and prevent the greatest crimes of all.

It's great that you mentioned this. In 2016 I read Philippe Sands' important, and very moving, book about the origins of the concepts of 'genocide' and 'crimes against humanity,' 'East West Street.' It examines the lives of Raphael Lemkin and Hersch Lauterpacht. It has stayed with me.
