You found one idiot that defends Eichmann so now he's a poor victim? Churchill's essay didn't offend me as a Jew but as a human, an American and a NYer. You just turned it into something offensive to me as a Jew by sympathizing with him and stating that he was not a terribly bright old fart who was quite a nice person. Good work, now I'm upset.
Funny how you use the word intellectual to describe such a stupid thought. I apologize to Larry now for grouping him with you; he has much more dignity than you. What does the potato famine have to do with this discussion? Did I ever claim I sided with the British for what they did? Has anyone? Would you be upset if someone said what happened to the Irish was just a mistake made by a very nice person that was not terribly bright? Is it the Irish thing that gives you the anti-Semitic edge? Is it because the Jews didn't help the IRA? I don't really want an answer. Dana wrote: > Eichmann is a little bit more specific as an insult.
