"It is that I find it condensending. There are several Jews who saved Polish lives after Societ invasion in 1939. Still it would be offensive to single such Jews as "Righteous among the Jews"."

I don't. All awards and honors leave others out. So no one should ever receive comendation?

"Such practice of appointing the "righteous" people is blasphemous. It implies that others are not by default, it elevates the individuals who make the judgment to the special prideful status. "

Blasphemy? Absurd. It is merely the name of a human bestowed award. The organization bestowing the award has no intention or illusions of anything but an award. That's like the US having to change the name of the Afghan operation from Infinite Justice to Enduring Freedom because some Islamists were offended.

"You are trying to smear me by twisting the facts. The link (not links) which you call "neo-Nazi" was the first return on Google I got containing more information on the anti-Serbian PR paid by nationalist Croats and and Islamists - I did not look into it closely as my point was ony to get the names of PR companies and few facts/dates. I refused to delete my post because I do not like to be ordered in insulting manner."

I agree anyone can make a mistake. But honest ones result in retracion when the person in error is made conscious. If you think it is such a "smear" you would have deleted it after someone pointed out your mistake. That's all I did - pointed it out and asked you to delete it. You refused, never apologized, and lost your credibility.

And now it is you who twist the facts.

There are other sins but blasphemy. There is pride in refusing to fix one's mistakes.

The name "Infinite Justice" given to a military operation is insulting to EVERY person who really believes in God. Only God is infinitely just.
