The Holocaust, with the deliberate and systematic murder of millions of innocent
Jews, Gypsies and the disabled, ranks alongside the most vile acts in the history of mankind.
As time goes by, as memories fade, and societies evolve whereby the here and now, or at best, the recent past, is what counts and the past gets forgotten, is it fair to say that the Holocaust won't mean much to future generations? Just as now most have never heard of some of the other mass murderers throughout history, where even the numbers killed during WW2 as a whole pale into comparison?
With that in mind, is it also fair to say that current events (regardless of which side you stand in the debate on Israelis versus Palestinians), as seen in the media/ social media, is what is forming the perception of Israeli's (and by extension, those of a Jewish background), to the detriment of the memories of the victims of the Holocaust?
I ask this because I have seen some disgusting and vile posts on other forums that are equating current events with those of the Holocaust.
Please, please lets have a decent grown up discussion, and avoid the general baiting that threads on similar topics end up being, with the Mods then having to delete the threads in order to safeguard the reputation of PakPassion as a civilised discussion forum.
