[ultima ratio]

Hitler's crazed mind fueled the Holocaust. The enmity between Christians and Jews for centuries was no different in kind from what you find today between Catholics and Protestants in Northern Ireland or Jews and Arabs in Israel. Genocide crosses a line--and there is plenty of evidence Hitler was inspired by Stalin, not by Christianity.Yet more and more you find Jewish intellectuals who blatantly charge Christianity itself with the Holocaust, making a linkage. This in turn has inspired more and more hate emanating from the Jewish intellectual community. The linkage is now received opinion--and it will create the very hostile reaction it fears. If this high profile anti-Christianity keeps up, inevitably it will result in as much hostility against Jews here in America as there is already in Europe. And it will have been self-created. It's just plain nuts. Krauthammer has been irresponsible.
