Just substitute other groups like Blacks, Quebecers, First Nations, in place of "Jews" and see if you still think your thesis is anything else than rank prejudice, cc.<br /><br />It is a pig's flying moment because I agree entirely with Ti-guy. There are Jews, like me, who do indeed others' appropriation of the Holocaust to advance their own agenda. I would certainly put the lowlifes at PETA and the various prolife groups in that category.<br /><br />Personally I've never understood why they do so. While it may bring them additional publicity in the short term, it ultimately alienates the vast majority of people from the very cause they are trying to advance.

Given that Jews have made an entire cottage industry out of sanctifying the Holocaust, it's their responsibility to call out anyone who is clearly trying to devalue its historical significance.</i><br /><br />There's certainly a legitimate reason for arguing this. There are plenty of Jewish people who object to all kinds of comparisons when it comes to issues of importance to them...PETA's use of the Holocaust in its anti-meat campaigns and the use of the word "apartheid" to describe conditions in the West Bank, for example.<br /><br />Whether those Jews are obligated to stand up and object in this specific instance is a matter of opinion.<br /><br />Given how stupid this culture is, in which the only histories people are vaguely aware of are those of Hitler and Stalin, it's likely a waste of time, since this kind of garbage is not going to end, anytime soon.Ti-Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06620550471437012866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708375.post-22356074541874688572009-10-10T11:42:04.566-04:002009-10-10T11:42:04.566-04:00Why are they being hypocrites?

Because you say so? <br /><br />I'm sorry (I'm <i><b>really</b></i> not) but Sooey's right -- Jews are no more morally obligated to speak out against this then anyone else who finds the comparison offensive. <br /><br />This not a Jewish issue. It's just one more attempt by misogynistic, anti-choice panysniffers to sensationalize their "fight" to remove women's options.LuLuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03412312541969320536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708375.post-90680835068141945132009-10-10T11:10:39.763-04:002009-10-10T11:10:39.763-04:00Sorry, sooey, but I don't buy your argument. ...Sorry, sooey, but I don't buy your argument.
