The wording is a bit difficult. Genocide became "famine" because when the perpatrators realised the rest of the world would see the genocide at a later time, They wrote famine into the history books and taught generations lies. When the potato shortage was in it's full flow they saw this as an opportunity to carry out a genocidal exercise in a covert deliberate way. They then disguised the atrocity as famine.

When will Irishmen stand up and take their place among the nations of the world instead of pandering to the sensitivities of the bully?

This petition states what we in the Ancient Order Of Hibernians have been arguing for years, the famine was an act of genocide just short of rounding up the Irish into concentration camps.

A great book @ the Hunger is Patrick Campbell's "Death in Templecrone".It evidences that the loss of life was far greater than what is taught.

You grow up in an Irish American family, and occasionally hear the talk of the "famine". How it shouldn't be discussed. We don't talk about that. How are ancestors starved, how some had no choice but to immigrate to America. In our public school system, there is nothing that I can recall about the facts. The truth is it was a holocaust, and it should be in every school, every house. The truth should be known, not kept in a dark closet. People need to know what really happened. By signing this petition, lets hope we get the truth out.

The name "famine " further injures as it invalidates the truth as perpetrated on the people of Ireland.

I studies history at uni a couple of years ago and this was the famine was my subject. After extensive reading I realised it was genocide and I cried so much more.

if people believe it was famine alone that caused mass starvation and that is an incomplete or disingenuous history then "rewriting" history or setting the record straight, in both the history books and the public's perception, to reflect what really happened is a worthwhile effort...
