i think you're right. there (and at the end of the song, at 2:16 and 2:23) it's tiger. everywhere else it's tyre though. so it's both.
and if you listen to the re-recorded version on the gigantic single (also included on complete 'b'-sides, for example), there's no tiger at all. tyre everywhere. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8G77mnuY6_g |

I would agree that civilian casualties of war would not necessarily warrant the term Genocide if civilians were not the aim or targets of a military. But only to an extent.
It doesn't mean that a mass killing has to approach the scale or organization of the Jewish or Armenian Holocausts to garner the term. The term "Holocaust" was applied to the Jewish genocide specifically because the term genocide was not sufficiently strong or weighty to convey the scale and intent involved. You can therefore apply the term to other forms of mass killing. Fire bombing Dresden or Nuking two cities in Japan might be considered Genocide. Since the goal was to kill hundreds of thousands of civilians. Last edited by MyOneAndOnly : 07-25-2014 at 02:20 PM. |

Aren't most wars against specific nations or countries? Or groups of people? Like always?

the goal was to destroy the infrastructure and industry of the city and take out the workers who were employed in heavy equipment plants. The bombing campaigns by both the Axis and Allied forces were designed to weaken the populations of those countries. The allies killed over 200,000 civilians alone just in Dresden. That's a conservative estimate. I've seen some claims that it was closer to 500,000 people. Based on the definition of genocide, that fits. You don't have to attempt to eradicate every single person on Earth of a particular ethnicity or religion to qualify as committing genocide. Look at pictures of any German city that sustained heavy bombing. Koln was nothing but rubble. The only thing standing afterwards was the cathedral. Was every apartment house in Koln a military target? After a war the winners always define the language used to remember it. Which is the only reason we don't refer to Hiroshima or Dresden as genocide. . Last edited by MyOneAndOnly : 07-25-2014 at 02:39 PM. |

Just read about this thing that Bibi said in '07 that should put the "is this genocide?" question to rest.
