That's what this thread is about.

And while we get you to think about cattle wagons going to death camps, what happens in Palestine ?
The so called Chosen People steal and occupy Palestinian land. Palestinians live the Shoah for more than 60 years now. But well, things could be worse, eh.
Has anyone ever been caring about them, while everyone is showing support to Israel ?
According to the #242 resolution made by the United Nations in 1967, all Israeli armed forces should withdraw from this land.
But they never cared about that so far. Why doesn't anyone just lift a finger and say "hey, but what are you still doing here" ? Because the so-called promised land is protected and subsidised by the world's big boss, the USA.
So now, I don't refuse to recognize the pain the Chosen People have gone through during the second world war. But those who consider themselves as the chosen people, eventually getting some family members going through so much pain at some time in History, are supposed to remember the reason why they've got to suffer. And so, they are not supposed to impose this kind of sanctions to Palestinians, making the shoah a palestinian thing nowadays.

The interest in pain should not be confined to one people only.

But feel free to be selective regarding the pain you're supposed to feel regarding tensions in the Middle East.

I've got to admit that I can't avoid feeling sad about the everyday people who always end up being the victims of that war, be they Palestinians or Israelis.
That is not what this thread is about. Jackpotdingding indeed. We've already got a thread about this. Take it there, orient.
