You said that every action has a consequence ----it certainly has proved to be the case this time. As I said, Palestinian Arabs are suffering collateral damage because of the actions of the people governing them.
Like the rest of us, when governments decide to do stupid things we citizens are just stuck in the middle of their stupid games,
"Jews" are not a "race"; Jews include individuals of enormously diverse origins and physical appearances, making the idea that Jews could easily be designated a "race" totally implausible.

The point was hammered home to me when I visited Auschwitz; 1.5 million people shot and gassed to death simply because they belonged to an ethnoreligious group.

I will honestly go to my grave trying to understand the hatred that would see 6 million people slaughtered in the Holocaust.

I have stopped referring to the horrors perpetrated on the West Bank and Gaza as "genocide" because the slaughter of the Palestinian innocents is on the insistence of a man who should be tried as a war criminal.

The Nazi conducted Holocaust and the butchering of almost a million Rwandans by machetes are the epitome of genocide.

17000 people murdered by a technological war machine is a war crime but falls short of being labelled genocide IMHO.
