Ben, I greatly respect you and your opinions but I have always been of the mind that the genocidal war against the indigenous peoples of this continent, waged by the government we hold dear, as just as evil as anything the Nazis intended.
As I wrote, demonizing the other only obscures our own. Sorry for your people's suffering, but many Zionists worked with the Nazis for their own purpose, and it was a terrorist attack on the King David Hotel that first "liberated" Israel from British control. There is enough evil in violence for a purpose for any and all perpetuators. Let's get back to something we all agree with and love, living aboard boats. The sun never sets.
