Zeev, good response. Agree with what you say. But let us get to modern times say after Hitler. I am assuming that holocaust and genocide is the same. Since Hitler's time there have been numerous genocide's and none of them involve the folks you mentioned in your post, including the Jews. Again, I have nothing against the Jews. I have very good Jewish family friends. But what I have told them always is that they should not always step forward and tell the world that their oppression takes precedence over others. In recent times we have had the Serbians commit genocide against the Bosnians and the Croations, There has been genocide in Rwanda and in Sierra Leone, there was genocide in Bangladesh. Even in Afghanistan the Taliban systematically eradicated non-Muslims and destroyed some of the Buddhist artifacts. But the world kept quiet. There was not so much of a ruckus as we see in the case of Israel and Palestine. And then there is so much of this anti-Muslim hate going around along with the pro-Jewish sentiment. Considering the timing of these two it makes me believe that the Jewish press is doing in kind to the Muslims what they are accusing the Muslims of doing. Prophet Muhammad preached about Isaa and Moosa (Isaa for Christ and Moosa for Moses). His religion is an offshoot of these two. I have many Muslims who are named Moosa which is Arabic for Moses. And then there is the name Issa which is Arabic for Christ. Muslim parents take pride in naming their children after them. All I hear is the propaganda how Arabic children are being taught to hate Jews which is true. But what the press deliberately keeps away from unsuspecting readers are that there are numerous Muslim parents who are naming their children Issa and Moosa everyday in Arab countries. It is time that kick the politicians on their butts (Arafat, Sharon in particular) and stop this nonsensical war.
