The lunatic that is Iran's president ordered a study to see if the holocaust was a hoax. Wasn't paying much attention to the story, but I clearly heard the news reader said something aboutthe holocaust being the greatest tragedy ever. I laughed as apparently he had a spiked egg nog before going on the air.

</DIV><DIV></DIV><DIV>But we allow them to even think of such crap, much less say it, when we allow Jews to strike the living fear of Jesus into us if we dare say anything critical about the holocaust. Hell, it's even a crime in many countries to state denial of the holocaust! Meanwhile, people can say just about anything about slavery, and they have, including that nonsense that blacks were as much to blame for it as whites were. CRAP!</DIV>

RE: is the holocaust a greater tragedy than slavery?

the holocaust is totally different from the slave trade and slavery... the holocaust is not exclusive to the killing of jews, as the jewish faction has investedimmeaurable resources trying to convince the world to believe... christians, poles, africans and many other groups of people deemed 'undesirable' by the german leaders were persecuted and killed...

the trans-atlantic african slave trade and slavery is the violent capture, involuntarymass migration and involuntary servitude, humiliation, sub-human treatment and dehumanizaton of an entire race of people over 400 years by not just one country and nationality -(germany, in the case of the holocaust) but by another race of people (european caucasion)... nothing compares to that atrocity... the scars and legacy of those conditions still affects the african race today...

the holocaust was tragic but pales in comparison to the slavery... cant even find a word to justly describe slavery...

Many estimates haveover 5 million non-jews were killed in the Holocast, nearly half of all the people killed. They have largely been forgotten. I don't know if the Jews are the ones to be blamed for that though. They have decided that thier dead will not be forgotten, everyone else should too.

Well said!

RE: is the holocaust a greater tragedy than slavery?

Ha ha ha....Red Herring indeed - my only take is that both were grave atrocities against not just the targetted people but to mankind on a whole and should be viewed as equally horrific.

RE: is the holocaust a greater tragedy than slavery?

I take your point. I have to admit that I had no idea how many non-Jews died until fairly recently. It is largely publicised as an exclusively Jewish tragedy.
