The Potato Famine was a crime of colonialism far more sinister than any "holocaust", yet it hasn't been properly recognized and even till today the Irish who fought against colonialism have been misrepresented by the media.

For sure. The more you look at the 'Potato Famine' the more you realize that millions of pounds of meat, butter and ripe potatoes were flowing out of Ireland and to England during the entire event. It was a manufactured crisis and it was an ethnic genocide against the Irish people that they have yet to recover from. There was a potato blight but it didn't wipe the entire crop out at all. It just reduced the crop enough that it destabilized the food supply and drove the price of food out of reach of the masses of poor Irish. The Irish government was way too compromised/influence by the British crown to stop the food exports and feed their own people.

Personally I wouldn't blame 'colonialism' or 'class rivalry' or 'capitalism'. It seems like a standard case of two groups of Europeans pitted against each other for no other reason than to make insane profit and kill white people in the process. I wonder what group would benefit from such a series of events?

The PM of the time was Disraeli, but it's difficult to separate this fact from the masses that supported his policies, either as the elite or as the troops. And lately the British are so eager to recognize the errors and crimes of their past policies when it comes to various black tribes, but not when it comes to Ireland or Cyprus or the Afrikaners.
