what the heck does this have to do with the topic, other than suggesting that "the jews" somehow had it coming?
It explains the way people were thinking in relation to the situation and the historical referencing and documentation which they were exposed to at that time.
It explains that if you regard someone different from yourself based on beliefs in such things as affixed god ideas and no small amount of lying attached to those ideas and what happens when lies are told often enough to people who are easily led to understand that they have been seriously disadvantaged by those lies, then ways will be found to deal with the perceived problem.
Wherever the lies can be differently sourced they share a common tie. They are all lies.
There is no integral justification for acting out under the influence of one set of lies in order to set upon something else influenced by another set of lies.
The point being that if it can be understood for what it is, and how it came to eventuate it can be more easily forgiven.
However I do not myself get the impression anything is forgiven due to the guilt and shame which somehow silences the need for honest self examination, whether that examination is one individual or one culture or one political system, religion, or country and without the honest self examination there can be no way forward in relation to forgiveness.
So it is not about saying in this case that anyone deserved or asked for what they got.
Essentially the Jews inherited it from their own history, which is found to be wanting in relation to their particular god ideas which unfortunately have spread into society due to the nature of the lie itself.
Sure there may be differences in small type policy and focus upon parts of the lie, but at the helm sits an imposing image of 'the god of humans' which was brought into the world via Judaism - and further elaborated on by Christianity and Islam.
Now there are any number of threads on this message board which are obviously not sparing the rod when it comes to the evils of Christian and Islamic influence but a strange silence prevails when it comes to calling out Judaism for its part in the whole lie. Perhaps it is done indirectly so as not to offend the Jew or risking the label of being anti semitic... but if anything has to be said, it has to be said about the whole rather than the parts, if for nothing else than clarity and to show one is not accepting of one thing over another when those things are essentially the same.
Also it might possibly be mistaken that those doing the complaining about Christianity and Islam whilst keeping quite about the Jewish connection might themselves be of Jewish decent...**** like that happens all the time...
