I'm Jewish. I had relatives who died in the death camps. I had relatives who fought That makes two us. Sorry to hear that.

If I wish to comment that modern European Jews have not learned the lessons of the Holocaust, that is my right. Absolutely. And I would agree with you if you said that. But you did not.

I responded to what you actually said and not to what you may have said on another occasion, in another life, speaking in Aramaic.

If you had even bothered to read any of my posts on other similar threads,

No, I have not. Nor is it my obligation under any rules of debate. I responded to what you actually said.

Well, I see now: I am supposed to be omniscient and see trrough your words that you lost relatives in the Holocaust. I am also supposed to go and do research on you as a person before replying to your abominable post.

You, on the other hand, have no obligations to make yourself clear when you write. You must be a real babyboomer.

| I understand your emotions: I too would not be pleased if someone suspected me of being in bad company. However, if it did happen to me, I would reread my the words I wtote in haste and say to myself, "Given my poor choice of words, he could've misinterpreted my position." And then I would clear a misunderstanding. Having relatives murdered by the Nazi thugs does not impart any moral superiority to you and was completely irrelevant to our discussion.

Have a happy Passover.

Same to you. Didn't mean to jump on you; we're on the same side. I can get a little heated when the topic is Jews or Israel :^P
