Your problem is that you think there was only one war in this world - Hitler. First off, who doesn't have ancestors that weren't pounded by Hitler and lost assets as a result? I don't see any ancestors on the one sub-branch of my family complaining about this. Second, to this day there is discrimination against women - if you believe victims should be compensated from prior generations ago, then you've got 50% of the world's population to compensate for their victimization. Lastly, according to history, there were more murders in one country during a war in South America than all of the Holocaust, according to the museum in San Jose - yet, you don't see them complaining about their lost assets. They're more worried that their historical war is getting ignored in the media. But for some reason, you think your ancestors should get the "special" treatment. That's discrimination, unless you acknowledge that victims of ALL wars (not just the one you pick because it involves your ancestors) should be compensated. RE: "care to elaborate?" You are only focused on your ancestors, no one elses. That's where you bias is. A fair person would either have to have the belief that victims of all wars (not just the one you pick because it involves your ancestors), but victims of all wars, should be compensated. Or, the belief that no victims should be past compensated. But your belief is that only the war which impacted YOUR ancestors should get the special treatment - you conveniently neglect a lot of other wars and abuses in history. I'm sure you've heard of Britian, right? Possibly you recall how Britian stole the assets and wealth from nearly every country in this world during the British empire? You don't hear any of those folks complaining about getting their assets back. And you conveniently ignore all other wars, but your selected one because it involves your ancestry. That's where your bias is (unless you simply forgot to state your belief that all other victims of all other wars should also be given the special treatment.)
