Holocaust Museum's "Crisis in Darfur" on Google Earth

The Museums Mapping Initiatives use tools such as Google Earth and animated maps to enable citizens to understand Holocaust history and bear witness to current threats of genocide across the globe. "Crisis in Darfur" displays the destruction in Darfur, Sudan through photographs, articles, and testimonies via Google Earth. This information appears as a Global Awareness layer in Google Earth.

On July 30, the Museum updated "Crisis in Darfur" with the latest U.S. Department of State data that sheds new light on the extend of the genocide in Darfur.

The new data shows that more than 3,300 villages have been damaged or destroyed, primarily between 2003-2005, in the Darfur region of Sudan. This is more than twice the number that was identified in previous U.S. government assessments and strengthens the evidence of a vast, targeted campaign of destruction against civilians.

Also Hiroshima was nuked because of the fact the loss on the US side was estimated to rise in the several hundreds of thousands if they were to launch an invasion into Japan itself

As if it isn't public enough? Also, there is absolutely no proof that it is a lie. There are only crazed conspiracy theories that rely on fuzzy evidence and assumptions.

Well why don't make it public then???

The greatest lie in human history...

Because bombing them would kill way more Jews inside than Nazis.
