...of Palestinians? The Jewish people have suffered greatly at the hands of Rome, during pogroms in Eastern Europe, and through the Holocaust in Hitler's Europe. Has this caused Israel to soften or check her response to Palestinian terrorism?
I am not harping about the Holocaust and find the History Channel's constant analysis of Hitler nauseating. I just think that in discussing a thousand years of brutality, it behooves one to mention the murder of 6 million within a 5-year period. Failure to do so would be a glaring oversight.
 
I am old enought to remember the Holocaust and seeing the dreadful news reels taken at Belson when it was liberated by the British. Then my heart and sympathy went out to these poor Jewish, Poles Russians and mentally ill people. However having followed the events in Palestine this sympathy has wained to the point that now I feel that the Israeli government are behaving a little like their nazi persecutors.I would have thought that the lessons they learned from their own persecution would have meant that they also would be able to show compassion.Regretfully it has had the opposite effect.
 
give it a rest
stop mentioning the holocaust every time you mention jewish people

read the history in the past thousands of years not just one awful decade

Israel is always careful and has had to learn to deal with suicide bombers
