I am rather well versed in Soviet history. Stalin's and Hitler's barbarity are different in degree. True- Stalin's body count was indeed higher even before WWII. But Stalin never came close to wiping out an entire people as Hitler did. Stalin's deportations of entire ethnic groups were extremely cruel but the intent wasn't to murder them so much as to disnfranchise them. It did indeed result in a lot of death among these groups. It was "ethnic cleansing" on a mass scale. But most of those who died did so out of brutal indifference of the state rather than a gas chamber or mass machine gunning. Hitler's Death Camps remain unparralled. Entire families were gassed to death for their enthnicity. They were set up to kill. Stalin's Gulag was not much better but they didn't exist to kill- that was an auxillary benefit- they existed for cheap slave labor.
I hope I never see the day when Palestinians are flushed into the deserts of Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, or Lebanon to die like flies or subsist on UN handouts.
And from recent studies done- it does appear that Stalin intended a Hitler like holocuast for all Soviet Jews but died before he could see it through.
In fact, if anything, Stalin (along with Mao IMHO) proved that the latter is capable of killing many more without tieing up as much of the tyrant's resource.
I pray the Palestinians are not driven out either...but much different than with those victims under Hitler or Stalin, they have a very clear say in the matter. If they will definitively show action regarding fighting and expelling the terrorists operating amongst them, they will be viewed as allies and would avoid any such action.
If, however, they continue to support and abet and harbor terrorists amongst them, then they will ultimately have to be viewed as part of the enemy as Israel's security continues to deteriorate and as more and more Israelis die. I believe that decision should be forced sooner rather than later.
