Jews should have fought back in World War 2. MOST didn't do anything at all to help their cause! I think many Jews do hold responsibility for not fighting back in WW2. I guess you haven't ever read about the battle of the Berlin Ghetto, where the jews stood off the Nazis for several day with nothing but old rifles and guts. I am not jewish by the way. The Jews in Germany were disarmed and faced not only the Government but the German people as well. Most of the people jumped on the band wagon and turned in jews that were trying to escape or hide. It is kinda hard to fight without weapons and when the Gov has a record of where you live. The Germans registered all the Jews first and then started to round them up. Siting innocent reasons for it. I am sure if they were told that they were going to be sent to torture chambers and gassed that many would probably have decided to fight.
Jews today, in Israel, fight hard and fight most everyday. Liberals say the fight to much and you are saying they don't carry their weight? Get real, read some history now and then, read some real news every day. Get a life.
"I guess you haven't ever read about the battle of the Berlin Ghetto, where the Jews stood off the Nazis for several day with nothing but old rifles and guts."
I didn't say that none of them did anything. I know there were times that many Jews did fight back but when looking at the number of Jewish people in Europe there was a very low percentage of resistance organized by them.
I also know about the antisemitic acts that were being implemented before the start of the most horrendous exterminations. Those were indications of what was to come and the Jewish people had time and opportunities to revolt.
I am not saying that Jews of that time were cowards. I just believe they were far more passive than most others would have been with the numbers they had.
I support Israel 100% and I believe most Israelis learned the mistakes of being passive in the past. I wish our government would start supporting a more aggressive Israeli war against the Palestinian terrorist instead of telling them to use restraint ever time they undertake a large military maneuver. There isn't going to be peace over there unless someone kills or imprisons the Palestinian terrorist and I have no confidence in any Palestinian leader doing that.
