"Why didn't you say so!"

You and Sancho are jousting the wrong windmill. I know what the truth is and really, sincerely don't care how you see it or try to spin it. Jews, are like all of the other victims of all of the holocausts of the last century, nothing more and nothing less.

Not quite, you spinmeister. If that were the case, you would not be so vexed by Jewish narratives of the Holocaust; you're not bothered by anyone else's narratives of their suffering; only Jewish ones. So you hold a special criticism for Jews. You claim "They're no different from other victims!" Yet if a black writer tells the story of black suffering under slavery in the U.S., you don't say "They're no different from other enslaved peoples! How dare they tell a story about themselves and imply that ONLY they suffered from slavery!" I suppose Exodus from the Bible irks you, too, since it tells the story of Jewish enslavement in Egypt and is not a general indictment of slavery as such.

The proof that Jews are really not like all other victims of all the holocausts of the last century is that spinmeisters like you always berate specifically the Jews -- no other group -- for telling their own story...and apparently being very commercially successful at doing so. You'll no doubt feel differently about things if and when a Polish bishop can produce a hit movie or best-selling book about Polish suffering under Soviet communism.

Such stories are long overdue. We're all waiting.
