....well....it is obvious, you can tell, I'm not Jewish. The fact that I've always loved people who are Jewish, and had friends of same, wouldn't matter a whit to you, I'm sure.
Just tell me, what is this thing with G-d. the hyphen in the middle of the word God? And below that another writer types chr*stianity, in his post.
Anyway, I still say, that it's education that makes the difference in how a historical event is thought of and remembered. I've been taught or brought up to believe that yes, it was six million Jews that perished in that horror. But, yes, they are my sisters and brothers, also.
"New York Times publisher Arthur Sulzberger, an assimilated Jew of German descent, feared that the newspaper would be engaging in special pleading..."
The reason is "special pleading"??? What in the heck is that?
“Anti-Semites love Holocaust memorials. They look at the exhibits featuring piles of dead Jews and feel great satisfaction.”
I never looked at it that way. I just knew I didn’t like going to them. I think you’re right, though.
It’s like the Catholic Church always showing Jesus dead, nailed to the cross where they can control Him.
