holocaust /hŏl′ə-kôst″, hō′lə-/
noun- A great destruction resulting in the extensive loss of life, especially by fire.
The word Holocaust is derived from the Greek holokauston, a translation of the Hebrew word ʿolah, meaning a burnt sacrifice offered whole to God.
I’m Greek and I always thought it’s derived from the words olo (whole, entire) and kafsi (to burn) so as to mean something that burns completely. A quick Google search seems to confirm this but I’m admittedly not an expert on the matter
That was the worst thing I saw in my life. I couldn’t sleep. Israel is evil.
I legit woke up at night remembering this video that I saw yesterday. The boy was 20 and involuntarily I saw the last moments of his life, him stretching his arm trying to reach for help. I hope you’re in a better place now Shaban, this world wasn’t good enough for you.
He was a student. Incredibly horrific.
Lesser evil.
