Weird that 'Holodomor' is considered a 'genocide' but a Nazi seige causing mass starvation is not.

I do not know why this specific fact made to the front page or whether if it has something to do with the seige on Gaza right now and American Government being totally pog with it.

It for the same reason why the Holodomor is considered an anti-Ukrainian genocide in particular whereas Kazakh deaths, despite being much worse proportionally, are rarely brought up.
There's a dividing line here and I can't qWhite make it out
- I guess we know that Russia is officially not white
  
  They’ve had their whiteness pass revoked for a while now
- Reminds me of the very specific type of person who gets mad when people talk about Roma victims of the Holocaust.
a genocide has to start with holo- or else it’s just sparkling massacre
- Wikipedia with the
  take

  Both the famine in the USSR as well as Nazi extermination of Soviet citizens were genocides

  for Wikipedia editors.
why was an American court making a ruling about a Nazi crime against a Soviet city?
- Good question, the US is the world police not the world judge!
- wild guess: there was a law against making fun of genocides (or similar), someone made fun of Russians dying during the siege of Leningrad, some other guy sues him because of said law. Boom, now a judge has to decide whether it was a genocide or not.
Ukronazis love to never shut the fuck up about muh holodorkmore but never talk about Babyn Yar because their ideological and national heroes were the ones with their fingers on the trigger
- Wait, I haven't heard about this and it's a little hard to look up. Do you have any further reading?
  
  Here's an old Soviet film on the topic it's filled with survivor testimonials and details of the massacre so for anyone who wants to watch it, it's not for sensitive individuals.
The reality is this, the Nazis won. Not the kinetic war, but the war of their ideals, and it has seaped in to every facet of western white society.
