What about never again? Are Jewish orgs doing anything to help this situation, given the human rights violations similar to the Holocaust?

edit: Note, I'm genuinely asking here, not implying anything should/isnot being done

Probably the same things they were doing to help out in Rowanda and Bosinia.

They're too busy recreating the Holocaust with the Palestinians as the victim. Every couple of months we hear about the Israelis expanding their lebensraum by building some new settlements on Palestinian land.

Israel != the international Jewry. Assuming as such is thinly-veiled anti-Semitism.

Oh please. Make one negative comment about Jews and you get called an anti-Semite. It's even worse than with blacks.

You must be one of those poor oppressed middle class white males from America. It's so rough that people call your racist comments racist. How dare they.

Not everyone has to be completely precise and politically correct to have a conversation, just most of these kinds. Know your audience. :)

Do dark skinned folk also get annoyed with you treating them as a homogenous group, by any chance?

Have you considered a career as a professional writer of letters to the Daily Mail?

I think it needs a few Why, oh why's and an In my day, to really make the grade.

What an embarrassment that this comment got voted up.

What an embarrassment this whole subthread is. Starting with the bizarre suggestion that jews have some sort of special moral responsibility to intervene in any major human rights catastrophe, because the holocaust = a huge human rights catastrophe?

These kind of train wrecks are inevitable when people post stuff like this to HN. Dogma vs Dogma.

Oh please. All I did was say something that is true, but politically incorrect. Just because it offended your sensibilities doesn't mean it's false.

Congratulations, you just won the moocowduckquack memorial sickbag for Bigot of the Week.

Who says "international Jewry" any more?

I've always heard 'Jewry' used to refer to a particular Jewish community. cf. 'Christendom' for Christians.
