Nazi's and Palestine
I am sick and tired of the propaganda that in WWII GB CAn USA Australia etc fought a war not against another country but against a political party and its members. The Nazi party. Japan and the Japanese are not similarly protected. THe war was with Japan. THe Japanese bombed Pearl Harbour. THe Nazis murdered 6,000,000 Jews. Nowhere else in history is a country and its people absolved of its crimes by blaming the political party in power at the time. Even when the people put that party in power as in Germany. In Japan, a monarchy, the Japanese people are still blamed for the war. Many Americaans still hate the Japs. THe Germans on the other hand are considered to be unwilling participants in the war and its atrocities that they supported. GErmany and the German people murdered my Grandparents. Stan
Editor-> Stan, I couldn't agree with you more. I have been saying the same thing for years. Only the German people seem to be exonerated from the murderous crimes their elected government perpetrated against not only Jews, but several other less than "pure" groups. Of course, Jews are the ones who suffered the most, with as you say, over 6,000,000 people dead. You can imagine how I feel as a gay Jew. They got us from both ends. However, I do not hold a grudge against the current German population that was not even born at the time of these atrocities. But anyone who was a part of the electorate that put the Nazis in power and then turned a blind eye to their heinous activities should burn in hell forever.
