Jews Deserved the Holocaust

Why Europeans support the Palestinians rather than Israel

A typical radical Palestinian sentiment, re the 50th anniversary of the establishment of Israel:

"On the fiftieth anniversary of one of the greatest crimes of the age, committed against the gentle people and land of Palestine, we stand in reverence in the sight of the martyrs who had offered their lives as a libation to the continuity of the land and its immortal name. "

Given the horrible wars and catastrophes of the last hundred years, why would radical Palestinians proclaim that they are the victims of one of the greatest crimes of the age? Firstly, because they are masters at the art of inventing a lie and then believing in it passionately.

Why invent and believe in this particular lie? Obviously because they are attempting to erase sympathy for the Jews due to the Holocaust in various ways: by denying that it ever occurred, by claiming that Jews manipulate it to gain sympathy, by claiming that the Palestinian situation is the fault of others not of their own doing, and that their suffering is greater than that suffered by the Jews, and that this suffering is caused by the Jews.

The Europeans love this because it proclaims that what they did to the 6 million Jews, slaughtering them, helping thers to do it, taking over their homes and posessions, was not as bad as what the Jews themselves are doing to others.

Prediction: in a few years one will hear Europeans beginning to say things like: "maybe the millions of Jews who were killed in Europe during WWII were not so innocent after all, just look at what their compatriots in Israel are doing".

Interessting. I don't support the Palestinians and I'm definately for the incursion into Lebanon, however I have this to say.

First off, the Palestinians currently are suffering greater than the Jews are now, not greater than the Jews suffered under WWII, but they are most certainly in the mud at the time being.

Secondly, the Palestininas predicament is not their own fault, at least not 100%. Both Israel, and especially the Arab Nations have put the Palestinians where they are today.

Denying Holocaust is just plain stupid, but given their current situation, I can understand that they would see themselves as the victims of one of the greatest crimes of the age. Especially since the crime (rightfully or wrongly) is not always recognizes as such.
 
Oh, and of course the Jews didn't deserve the Holocaust, no one would. And for the sake of argument, I'd like to point out that anything the Jews or Israel does today, cannot justify offenses in the past.
