One mass murder certainly doesn't justify another, but there's no question that the biblical God is an extremely harsh deity ... that's the problem I've always had with christianity, it's a package deal, the biblical God comes with Jesus. There are all kinds of mass slaughters in the bible. My favorite story is Sodom and Lot. God sends two angels to search for the honest men and the angels show up at Lot's house. A crowd gathers outside screaming at Lot to toss the two strangers out so they can gangrape them ... fearful of offending the angels, Lot instead tosses them his virgin daughter ... God is so pleased by this that Lot's family (but for his wife and the very gangraped daughter) is the only one to survive the destruction of Sodom. There are many passages like that demonstrating a totally insane level of cruelty. A lot of christians get around this stuff by denying the literal truth of the bible but that has always seemed a cop out to me, you've got to take the good with the bad.

It is always what you report rich. You are obscessed with the subject. I dont know what happened between jews and persians thousands of years ago. In recent times the two groups get along quite well and even today there are plenty of jews in iran and treated far better than in arab lands. But what you just did is inexcusable. You publish the article because its holocaust denial and cover it up by asking a rhetorical question. Even redfish said even if true one doesnt justify the other. You once again show your true colors. You just cant let it go. Did a drunken jew do your circumsision? Is that what its all about?
