You've been telling us what you believe in your posts; no one has to presume a thing.
I am just not convinced that they individually suffered more than any other victim.
No Jew has ever claimed that Jews suffered more than other victims. What you hate is the fact that Jews write about their own suffering. Apparently, you, Stephan, and the Polish bishop wish Jews would just shut up altogether.
I have a great deal of empathy for the victims of the holocaust (all of the victims regardless of demographics) and their survivors.
Unless, of course such victims write books about their experiences, or release movies about it. You're full of empathy...as long as the victims shut up about their historical experiences. Then your "empathy" changes to criticism of how such victims are simply being venal and "cashing in" on their experiences.
I think it the height of identity theft ...
??? I get it! When a Jew points out that his sufferings in the Holocaust are part of his historical identity, that represents theft of some other victim's identity! Now, is this true for blacks, too? If a black writer claims that enslavement of blacks in the U.S. is part of his historical identity, does that claim steal the identity of some other victim of slavery somewhere else or at some other time?
and disrespect for anyone to attempt to cash in on their suffering.
Just as I predicted. See above. Know-nothings like you are more comfortable under communism since you have zero idea of what freedom means, especially economic freedom in the market. If Spielberg makes a movie about the Holocaust and millions of people pay lots of money to see that movie, the "cashing in" you're complaining about is the fault of the people who pay to see the movie...it's not the fault of Spielberg. No one forces anyone to consume Spielberg's movie; they are free NOT to buy a ticket (this is all probably news to you). Apparently, you're OK with victims making movies and publishing books about their victimization as long as such ventures are commercial failures (in which case they are not "cashing in").
Like all crypto-anti-Semites, you have a problem with Jewish commercial success...in this case, their success with telling the story of their suffering in the Holocaust.
Now you are just being silly.
