Because if you can reduce the horror of genocide to the horror of terrorism, you can reduce the horror of terrorism to that of a simple misdemeanor. There's no point in calling genocide "an extreme form of terrorism," unless you also want to call the Enron fiasco "an extreme form of accounting negligence" or drunk driving "an extreme form of judgmental negligence." Tenchusatsu, are you purposely being obtuse? I said the Holocaust was an example of both......terrorism and genocide.......and not that it was an extreme anything.........nor was I trying to reduce the impact of anything. All I was pointing out in my original post is that terrorism is not just when a suicide bomber blows himself up, or 4 terrorists commandeer a plane and plow into the WTC. As dramatic and horrific as those events are/were, there are varying levels of terrorism which can take the form of soldiers entering your home and ransacking it, or being forced on trains, destination unknown. You don't think those events invoked terror in the hearts of Jews affected by these acts? And then later came the genocide. ted
