Historical fact validates the term Genocide. Charles Trevalyan, knighted for his deeds in the Irish Holocaust, confiscating aid sent by the USA and Ottoman Empire from reaching Catholics but not Protestants or Quakers; people forced into exile or sent to penal colonies for falling foul of hunger or landlords; Mass emigration; 2 million dead - 2 million forced to leave; enough food to feed between 13-18 million people stolen by the British Army at the barrel of a gun and sent over the Irish Sea. An axiom from the time read "Providence brought the Blight; England brought the Famine"... hopefully now in the history books it shall read "Providence brought the Potato Blight; England engineered Holocaust/Genocide vis-a-vis forced Starvation".
