re: #235 Obdicut

I have no fucking clue how ‘they were rhetorical’ is supposed to make your comments appear any better in any way, shape, or form. They are incredibly goddamn offensive whether meant rhetorically, figuratively, literally, or allegorically. Those that died did not do so because of any form of weakness. Jews are not now all strong and able to resist; they are still vulnerable in many ways and places, and still second-class citizens in others.

OK, I’ll explain it.

In fact, Jews were led to slaughter easily because they didn’t fight back. Images of whole groups of Jews herded by one or two guards are legion. Jews. did not fight back because civilized people cannot fathom, much less predict, the actions of evil people. From a behavioral standpoint, this is a flaw. Human beings should have as priority, the ability to defend themselves. Through most of human existence that Darwinian instinct has been at the fore.

Yes it is true not all Jews now are strong. Not all of any one group is strong.

The Israelis have made ‘Never Again’ meaningful and real as a direct response to the Holocaust.

That is a most Darwinian response.
