Quote from southamerica:
Sudan has been going through a holocaust and we also watch it on the news and very few people are doing anything about to stop the killing in Sudan.
And I have news for you â if another holocaust happens to the Jewish people the entire world it will just watch on television in the same way we did with Tibet, Cambodia, Rwanda, Congo, and Sudan since the 1950âs
Why do you think anybody else cares about the Jewish holocaust (Other than the Jews) an event that has happened a very long time ago â when in reality the global population it does nothing to stop even the current holocausts that are under way today?
you might find it of interest that my posts were a
response to this:
Quote from humpy:
The obvious question that nobody ever seems to ask is why ?
Why have the Jews been persecuted since the time of Moses and probably before ??????????????????
The follow on obvious question is what have they learnt from these unpleasant experiences ?????????????
to see an answer without looking at the question will
not be too enlightening.
regarding your own postings here i would like to say
something about your point of view and the way you
are using this very view within the discussion.
the thread as such has the title "Middle East Metldown
and US Foreign Policy", which cleary indicates which
region of the world will be the focus of interest and
which others will be not. now you bring in other
countries, other regions, other times in order to make
your point that the shoa (as the jews call the holocaust)
was nothing so special and is heavily overrated in all
discussions. by saying: let us not discuss the shoa so
much, since we do not talk about the other tragedies,
you somehow discredit the topic of the jewish drama,
since you very well know that within this thread we
won't discuss these other dramas in length. so the
topic is dropped. at the very place where it is central
to the topic at hand.
there IS heavy discussion around the world regarding
africa.
there IS heavy discussion around the world on tibet.
there IS massive discussion of people like pinochet
and other dictators.
and there IS justified heavy discussion about the best
organised, technically perfect executed disaster within
the heart of what is called the civilised world.
you will not find too many people diminshing the drama
of others claiming the jewish as the main or only
one. yet, if you do not see the speciality of their
tragedy over thousands of years, then i'd say you
are among many others out there. and i do not have
to go in detail which their main principles of thinking
or political convictions are.
this "i am tired of this discussion" is a strange way
of thinking. i am personally not tired of the fact that
there is still lectures on mathematics at school, going
on year after year after year. when i learned all about
it i simply do not attend any longer. thinking that they
should stop teaching once i am done is ... weird. or
my motivation to claim that comes from somewhere
else. then things make perfect sense again.
