I said: "You are correct that the Japanese-Americans weren't deported in the sense of being removed from US borders."
Look here.
I don't know how strong an admission that I was wrong I need to make. I'm not going to call myself a doofus. That's your job.
.
But what you didn't say was that it was the *wrong* word, you said it wasn't right "in the sense" of being removed from the country -- which is it's only meaning.
Your staement leaves open the possibility that in some other, DZ-only sense, the word was correct.
The words you're looking for are "I was wrong to use the word deport to describe what happened to the Japanese internees." Full stop.
.
...where they are free to go wherever they want except back to the country that deported them.
.
And it would have to be free, since the Nazis confiscated all their property.
.
That was the word dudalb used to describe what happened to the Jews.
.
And that *you* used "in the sense of" what happened to the Japanese, which was a completely different thing than happened to the Jews
And completely wrong
.
My understanding is that three million Polish Jews were murdered by the Nazis in the death camps in Poland. So none of those Jews--roughly one-half or more of the holocaust--were "deported."
.
No, they weren't. Didn't we agree to use "forcibly removed?"
.
So were Jews "deported" during the holocaust? Sometimes yes and sometimes no. Dudalb's use of the word 'deportation' isn't exactly correct but it's a little harsh to say it was "stupid thing" for him to say.
.
I didnt say it was a stupid thing for *him* to say, I said it was a stupid thing for *you* to say regarding the Japanese internees, as anyone with normal English skills can plainly see.
.
Uh, yeah. Sure. Whatever.
.
What a strong admission that you were wrong
.
Your obsession over dudalb's misuse of 'deportation' i
.
... exists only in your mind, since I was very obviously discussing *your* use.
.
Maybe the word 'deportation' to describe what happened to the Japanese-Americans and to the Jews isn't exactly dictionary kosher.
.
Wow! Another "strong admission!"
.
But when somebody says "Japanese Americans deported during WWII" or "Jews deported during WWII" everybody know what we're talking about.
.
Well, anyone with normal English skills would assume that when *you* said that, you were talking about, you know, deportation and further were trying to suggest that the way the US treated the Japanese internees was equivalent to the way the Nazis treated the Jews.
.
That was the question. Why don't you just answer it? You don't like the word 'deportation.' We'll use the word 'forced relocation' instead.
.
I did. Then I did again. The second time in the very post to which this response of yours was a response.
.
Forcibly relocating Jews qua Jews is a crime in and of itself and only a hate filled bigot would disagree. Yes or No?
.
Yes.
.
Forcibly relocating Japanese-Americans qua Japanese-Americans is a crime in and of itself and only a hate filled bigot would disagree. Yes or No?
.
Yes.
.
Forcibly relocating ethnic Germans qua ethic Germans is a crime in and of itself and only a hate filled bigot would disagree. Yes or No?
.
Yes. Will you be withdrawing your smear that I am prejudice <sic> ?
A person of honour would.
So I guess I've answered my own question: no, you won't be.
.
.
Yes. That the internees in the US were "deported"
.
.
Yes, you do.
.
And just what the heck does that last sentence mean?
.
I was using the word "minute" in the adjective form meaning "teeny tiny" in response to your use of the term "minutia".
The sentence structure and content makes this clear to anyone with normal English skills.
.
Asked and answered. Again. But one more time: No bodies.
.
ITYMTS "lied about". And the lack of bodies is *your* problem: the normative understanding of these events explains why there are fewer bodies than there were deaths (cremation) and the rest *do* exist.

I did not qualify the statement, so anyone with normal English skills would understand that this means "to anyone".

Which was off-topic, since the internment of the Japanese in the US was not a part of the Holocaust, by any normal definition of that term.
And, no, why you asked the question was in a lame attempt to equate the treatment of the Jews with the treatment of the Japanese and set the groundwork for a "gotcha".

No, my question, given that it pertains directly to an event which was part of the Holocaust (the topic of this thread) makes perfect sense, is on-topic, and since I am not mendacious is not a distraction from such.
.
What happened to the Jews during the holocaust.
.
Which, in your ignorant and mendacious opinion ... what, exactly?
.
Go to library. Find nice lady behind counter. Ask her for something called "book." Read it. You learn and get smart. Knowledge is good!
Ask for "Night"
.
What specific page in this novel are you lying supports your accusation that the Hungarian Jews were "set free to inflict an orgy of rape and pillage against the civilian population"?
Or is this another lame attempt to distraact from your mendacity?
Trick question: of *course* it is.
.
I'm not familiar with prepubescent rapists in the camps. Seems rather precocious but camp life was so traumatic I guess anything is possible. Filip Mueller was manhandled by a couple of nubile young girls in the gas chamber but I don't think that would even rise to the level of sexual assault let alone rape.
.
Ah, then you admit that your description that the Hungarian children as inflicting an orgy of rape and pillage against the civilian population" was a lie.
It help your credibility if you just come out and say it.
.
I answered two of his questions today. Are there two more somewhere I haven't seen?
.
Free hint: Check the time stamp on *my* post.
Now check the time stamp on *your* answers.
Then link to the answers you lied that had given before then.
.
Unger? Any relation to Felix?
I was talking about Nussbaum. Zvi Nussbaum. The little ghetto boy.
.
Then you may want to consider being more specific in the future. Of course, this makes it slightly easier to demonstrate your lies, so you probably won't.
.
I'm not making it up. It made a minor splash when he came out as the kid in the photograph. The story sounds reasonable but I really have no way of knowing. It wouldn't be the first time a Jewish refugee from Europe made up a story to get some attention.
.
Okay.
Now that we've established who you're talking about, all you have to do is document that he was ever "sent to the gas chamber."
I'll wait right here
.
Sure. Whatever. Why don't enlighten us all as to his fate so we can learn how wrong I am?
.
Get thee to a library and read some. I correct gross errors and point out lies here -- it's not my job to educate the unwilling.
.
BTW, I never said Majdanek was a "transit camp." I know of durchgangjuden in relationship to Auschwitz but not Majdanek. Majdanek could be a transit camp in the same way but I don't know. And I never said it was.
.
Liar:
All the eyewitnesses describe the AR camps as places where Jews stopped for a delousing and then left.
And that statement itself is a lie, as well.
You're really not very good at this, are you?
.
There's a word for that. You know, making an argument based on a misrepresentation of the other side's position.
What's that word? I forget.
.
And there's a word for what you just did.
It's "lying".
