And that *was* what happened -- despite your refusal to accept it. There *was* active and passive resistance, there *was* sabotage, there *were* assassinations of Germans and collaborators, there *were* people who tried to help the Jews. Enough Europeans have died for it -- the Germans did not exactly react with kindness to such actions. They had no problem with sending entire families who hid Jews to the camps, and they had no problem executing a dozen or so people in retaliation for an attack. >You parodied Pastor Neimoller's poem - it also says something that you would >use a poem describing the last extermination of the Jews in Europe to help >justify the current level of European anti-semitism. Again, you are reading things that are not there. I my parody, I pointed to various instances in US history where people did not do as much as they could have done to help others. Nothing in that parody justifies anti-Semitism. There is not even any mention of Jews in it...
