re: Jewish MIT students physically prevented from attending class by Pro-Hamas students

quote:

---

Every single person who died during WW2 was a victim.

How can the people of the country, their leaders, and absolute animals who committed heinous acts repeatedly against their fellow man be victims?

quote:

---

The truth of the circumstances under which the war took them is sometimes known - sometimes NOT.

---

But not when you are an aggressor nation, attacking and invading neighbor countries, killing its citizens.

quote:

---

I have little trust in the politics active prior, during, and after WW2.

---

Sure, but there is much known about the lead up to WW2, and whatever the politics were, there was no more justification for killing your neighbors than there was for trying to exterminate Jews, Romani, and the mentally and physically handicapped.

quote:

---

Did you know that it is said that the Bolsheviks exterminated 70 million ethnic Russians before WW2? Did they? Something happened and there are a mosaic of reasons of genocide and murder.

---

Reasons, sure. Justification? Not a chance.

quote:

---

We, as we move forward, have a responsibility to learn the lessons of those horrors BUT vastly more important is that we adopt politics that always promote peace among all people.

---

Promoting it is a noble aspiration, but there’s no peace with people who only want you dead.

quote:

---

So, yes, I am asking - do you have full knowledge or are you just like the rest of us and know that a lot of people faced their end inside of their innocence.

---

You’ll forgive me if I don’t find innocence in the soldiers and leadership of a people who decided that they were the only ones worthy of life.
