Nowhere does it say in my remarks that Americans owe a debt. Sheesh - I've never had a post so misunderstood; perhaps I shouldn't post a word before that second cup of tea. I was trying to imply that Europeans owe a debt - to us, to their Jewish citizenry - for not handling a matter that could have and should have been handled in the 30's. The Neville Chamberlains of their time permitted the near extinction of the entire Jewish population in Europe and we (Americans) saved both Europe and the Jewish people from extinction. The debt owed is to US.
The Neville Chamberlains of their time permitted the near extinction of the entire Jewish population in Europe By that logic, all of us, Jews and gentiles, Americans, Brits, Israelis, Arabs, Chinese, et al, are repsonisble for genocide in Rawanda. How many of us intervened?
In fact, back in the 1980s, the Left argued that if you allow people to die of starvation in a famine, then you murdered them.
By this article's logic (refusing to stop another's act equals doing the act) everyone on the planet is guilty of murder. Including the article's author.
