Compared to what the German Army and SS did to civilians in Poland and the Soviet Union...Germany did not get nearly as bad as it gave.

Umm, the Soviet Union massacred thousands of Poles at the start of WWII before Hitler double-crossed Stalin. And then there was that short 45 year period of a totalitarian Soviet puppet state in Poland following WWII. Do you really want to argue about which inhumanity was worse?

My point was:
Human and war atrocities were perpetrated throughout the 20th century by several totalitarian states and were visited upon people of all ethnic groups, and not just Jews. To debate who had it worse is pointless. The victims remain dead, infirm or dispossessed.

This is relevant to Gibson's comment regarding all of the 20th century atrocities and his implication that none of them were predicated upon blaming Jews for the death of Christ. The PC columnist had a problem with Gibson not kowtowing to the exclusive right of Jews to victimhood.
