"There are still plenty of FReepers who will post a whole slew of nuclear mushroom clouds after the mention of a Muslim name in casual conversation."

I was referring to many members of the Western establishment and not posters on a board.

"I think this MP is blatantly anti-Zionist and quite probably anti-semitic. But the concept that only Jews have been victims of history is asking a bit too much. Ever heard of the Highland Clearances? Probably not, considering it's not even taught in Scottish history books."

What is ridiculous and entirely self-serving is your absurd comparison between a single episode in Scottish history, the Highland clearances, and the persecution suffered by Jews over two thousand years. Anti-Semitism is the oldest and most endemic hatred in the world and comments like yours about "whining Jews" show that it's every bit as bad as ever.

Please note that in the 1930's when anti-Semitism was on the rise throughout the world and Hitler's persecution was already rampant in Germany and Austria, individuals just like you were saying exactly the same things: Jews are always whining - do they think they are the only victims in the world - oh those complaining Jews.

The Holocaust happened not because of the Nazis but because of people like you who encouraged the world to do nothing in the face of the greatest evil the world had ever known.

And I will not choose to forget that most of Europe's Jews were murdered. There are plenty of Scots in Scotland, Poles in Poland, Dutch in Holland but Poland which had the largest concentration of Jews in the world now only has less than 20,000 Jews when it formerly had 3.5 million.

And that even today anti-Semitism should be so rampant, and that inviduals like you should still talk as they do, shows to the Jews that absolutely nothing has changed and given the right conditions exactly the same events could easily occur again.

What is depressing is not just that the Holocaust happened but that people like you learned so little from such a great evil.
