Hmmmmm...

When we learn about the Holocaust, it would make a stone weep. And then to turn around and see Jews, of all people, oppressing others -- what are we to think?

It's beyond ironic.

Should we just throw up our hands and say, "Go ahead, kill them. You're entitled."?


No CB. In reality it isn't "ironic" at all. It's what people do. How could you expect anything less?

When we can; when we must; when we "feel/reason" it will be advantageous; when the G_d/Devil commands it; whatever, ...it is simply what we predators do. It isn't a matter of "entitlement," ethics, or morals. ...It's just biology doing what biology does. Moreover, if we should ever become lax in our adherence to our rituals, some nasty little bug will arise to do the job for us.

This "unfortunate" condition is certainly not limited to Jews or Moslems. We're all chips off the same block and live by the same rules.

Of course, when I get to Mt Olympus I intend to force a "regime change." But until I can straighten out this mess you are just going to have to accept the sordid truth and learn to live with it. <Hoo><Sigh><Hoo>

Well, I suppose you could choose to remain in denial and insist on living in the Great Myth that you can "learn" to NOT repeat your history. But then we'd have to lump you in with the Rational Analysis Trumps All Ilk ...And you know who lives there. <vbg>
