A red herring is trying to divert attention. Instead, I’m trying to focus attention on the position of some that Jews are trying to “sweep under the rug” or “hide” 6 million non-Jews killed in the Holocaust when they focus on the 6 million Jews who were killed in the Holocaust.
I don’t think they’re trying to “hide” or “sweep under the rug”. I think they’re just focusing on their own people.
So, the question about Christians focusing on only Christians killed in Syria is appropriate. If there are also Moslems being killed, does that mean Christians are trying to “hide” something or “sweep something under the rug”, OR are they simply trying to communicate the damage done to their own community?
What do you think?
That's exactly what you're doing. You're saying "Look! Someone else is committing atrocities!!! Let's talk about that instead!!!"
What do you think?
I think that deliberate partial reporting of an event, deliberately leaving out important parts of it, deliberately presenting a small fraction of it as if it were the whole is morally reprehensible. And doing it accidentally suggests incompetence.
And it doesn't matter who is doing it.
Remember, we're talking about the atrocities of the Third Reich here, not somebody else's atrocities. So ... once again: What possible excuse is there for limiting one's discussion of National Socialist death-camp atrocities to approximately half the folks killed there? Seriously: can you even try to come up with a good excuse for it?
