You were trying to bring into the conversation "the absence of violence by Jews prior to the final solution." I never brought this up. We all know that the Jews, young and old, were like sheep being led to slaughter by a madman that was revered by more sick madmen. This was a problem of the times. While Jews were being led to their deaths, the German people and military were being led to assist in the process. Much of what was being done was not known by the followers. They to were like sheep being led to a new motherland. I was not trying to make an analogy with the problems that the Palestinians find themselves in. My personal opinion, however, is that the Jews are not handling the situation in a humane manner. They are the one's with the guns, planes, tanks, ordnance. Here is a previous post of mine to Bilow that I made last September that sheds some light on my feelings of such atrocities...

If you want to talk about atrocities then make your comparisons not only of Jews but people in general. How about the 20 Million civilians murdered by Stalin (some claim up to 50 Million), along with another 500,000 gypsies. Stalin was doing his killing long before Hitler. Include Franco of Spain, and then we have the Japanese atrocities. These are all against mankind and not just the Jews. Go to your search engine and look up "unit 731" and see what the Japanese did. This is all history and nothing can change it. But a tenth? I don't know what that means or what you meant by it. " Sam P... you said, "This isnt about my disagreement with you but your ignorance and antisemitism." You may be right about your disagreement with me, however, I don't think it's about ignorance and anti-Semitism. I think it's about GOYIM that is bringing out your prejudices and racist thoughts towards a non-Jew.
