You seem to be really sensitive about the Jewish casualties and victims of WWII but show no compassion or feeling for the 30 million Russians murdered by the Communists or the 40 million Christians (25 million civilians) who were butchered during the Nazi wars. Why is that? Where did you see my post that said I don't care what happened in Russia and feel only a lack of compassion? The only reason we are discussing Russia now is because you brought it up in order to somehow in some weird way justify your bias against Jews. But now that you've brought it up......there is an important distinction between the two atrocities. The deaths of the Jews was premeditated by Hitler. They were a problem and he was trying to purify the German race. Its called genocide. Stalin was getting rid of political dissidents by sending them to labor camps or in the case of the Ukraine, trying to get farmers to form coops. They died because they were treated brutally; however, there were not gas ovens set up to exterminate a race. It was not an effort at genocide. That's a small but significant difference. That doesn't make it better but it makes the evil behind the Holocaust just that much greater. What I don't understand is how people like you can be so inured by your hate that you make this cheap effort to minimize what happened to the Jews under Hitler's reign? Did you see the photos that TP posted? Message 21399687 You really need to rethink your position on this subject.
