Genocide Survivors Call For Action in Darfur

Excerpt:

Meanwhile, a conference is being organised in London, bringing together survivors from genocides throughout the past 60 years, Mr Smith told the BBC.

"From the Holocaust in Europe, when six million Jews were killed by the Nazis, to survivors from Bosnia, from Rwanda, from the genocide in Cambodia, and, indeed, survivors from Darfur itself," Mr Smith said.

The survivors insist that the EU leaders step up pressure against the Sudanese government, accusing them of being "bystanders" to the mass killing in Darfur.

6 million killed do not include only Jews, they include all people who were killed during Nazi Holocaust, including communists, homosexuals, disabled, even over 100,000 Bosniaks.

Let's not politicize this issue and let's pay respect to all victims.

I'm not sure I understand. How do Mr. Smith's comments "politicize" anything?
