It seems many have forgotten the debt owed to Jewish society by nearly permitting their near extinction. Many Europeans have also forgotten we have over 200,000 dead buried in their countries, all while trying to save them from a menace that was sweeping the world. Memories are short, it seems, even within one's lifetime.

the debt owed to Jewish society by nearly permitting their near extinction

My father and a number of uncles spent four years of their lives during WW II fighting the Germans and Japanese. One lost his life. My family's "debt" is paid in full. And my family didn't own slaves so we won't be paying any reparations to blacks either.

That is rubbish.

There is no American debt on that score.

Scores of millions of Americans and Australians and New Zealanders and Tanganikans, British, Canadians, Kenyans, South Africans, Indians, Malayans, Papua New Guineans, Rhodesians and other of Our Allies perished and/or otherwise suffered in defeating Hitler's death-and-destruction worshipping, islamofascist-like-false-fuerher-following Germans -- and their axis henchmen -- including several members of my family and I would venture of thousands of other FR-members' families!

75% of the Tutsi were killed by the Hutu in the late 90's. Does America owe a debt to the Tutsi for "nearly permitting their near extinction"?

Where does it stop?

[taxed2death]

I don't owe Jewish society any debt.

Nonsense

You may owe them a debt, if you were a European of that generation. I am not and I don't.
I categorically reject the idea that "we" owe any debt to groups for what our ancestors may or may not have done to them.
Amerinds, blacks, Jews, Albigensians, Celts.
I have never done anything to them or had any obligation to stop anyone else from doing anything to them.

This wussie liberal implicit guilt just makes it harder to focus on the real issues.

At the moment the US and Israel have a common interest and a common enemy.
That enemy is radical Islam.

I carefuly read your remark and agree totally that the debt you speak of is that of the Europeans. And I agree. For the unresolvable mess in the Holy Land , first prize goes to the Germans who murdered their own citizens and bankrolled the zionists, Second prize to the British who wrote checks to the zionists which they could not cash. Russians who laid the holocaust blueprint, French ,and so it goes. Of these only the British seem to acknowledge the debt of blood which America has taken up.
