re: #269 Ben Hur
Mentioning one thing, then saying “On the other hand” usually means a comparison.
If you read the actual words, he described the horrors of the Holocaust very accurately — millions dead, death camps, slavery, etc. And he called out the Holocaust deniers.
When he described the “occupation,” he talked about “humiliation” and “refugee camps.”
The only equivalence is the fact that the two paragraphs were next to each other. Sorry, I just don’t see those statements as being morally equivalent at all.
