@izzythepush,
I have belittled nothing. Why do you state that I have?
I merely question the inconsistency of the numbers - Not negate the event.
There is noone (living or dead) that can offer an 'entire' explanation of what took place.
Like ebola today - The numbers reported are incorrect - Because noone, even with today's technology, can be everywhere at once.
People are not coming forward, burials are not being reported, families are concealing, etc.
I, like many others, view history as a great educational tool, but do not dwell in its cultural, religious, political triumphs and atrocities or burden myself with like, because I live in the 'now' and only current events have any effect on me and those I care about.
Here's an interesting account of 'Now' from an educated Israeli ex-soldier, on the atrocities being committed by Israelis on Palestinians today. You wont see this via western media.
