Sad but true.

BTW, I am not Jewish - just recognize reality.

My grandfather emigrated to the US from Spain. He still spoke with animus in his voice about "the Moors" who occupied Spain for 700 years. In the end, it had nothing to do with Morrocco and everything to do with Muslims.

I am thankful that he didn't live to see his native land today. And I know he wouldn't be too pleases with the Congress of his adopted country, either.

That article really underlines the tragic and log term consequences of the holocaust.

Me too: I am not Jewish - just recognize reality.

It wasn't just Jews they killed. It was an idea. The unwillingness to fight for their countries and their identities was weakened in WWI, and the vestiges were destroyed completely in WWII. The collective guilt and rejection of discrimination (in the positive sense of choosing right versus wrong) has really taken a toll.

Well .. without even reading the article .. my opinion of the title is that it's accurate.

When the Europeans allowed one group of people to be destroyed .. they really destroyed themselves too.

This is 100% true.

Fascinating stuff. What ping list is this? The prior pint had 4300 responses and took a long time to load, so I wonder what's happening?
