I hear a lot of talk comparing the immigration problem to the holocaust, do this bother the jews ?

Question

Illegals compare our immigration laws to the holocaust. Does this analogy bother the jewish community ? If I was jewish, I would be offended.

I don't agree with what they say, I was just wondering what the jewish community thinks of this remark .

Answer 1

LoL, trouble maker.

Answer 2

Most illegal immigrants are uneducated citizens of their country. Of course they would compare it to the Holocaust. It has nothing to do with it. The Jews suffered from unjustified discrimination. But when the immigrants come here ILLEGALY, we are justified aren't we? We have a right to look down on the immigrants, but no right to discriminate them. And there's no reason to be offended anyway. The holocaust was over 60 years ago. It's done. It's finished. There is no more. Why bring it up again?

Answer 3

funny, the person who called you an idiot is so secretive, no name, no picture, but your not an idiot of course and I've heard this one before. however it has not been spoken by any reputable figure. it's just another pathetic attempt by those who are here illegally to gain sympathy, they whine and they cry 'oh poor us, we do nothing wrong, we only want a better life, why do you drag us down? oh poor us we deserve the rights of legal American citizens even though we don't pay taxes, we overcrowd your schools and suck down the jobs, oh poor us we are all unskilled with nothing to offer America but you should still let us in and pay for us for the rest of your lives'. the holocaust, as you know, was the attempted mass murder of an entire people, the immigration issue is merely a people wanting those who do not belong here to go home, there is no comparison and if i were Jewish i would be highly offended that immigration was being compared with such a horrific event in history

Answer 4

6 millions Jews died in the Holocaust. I don't see how this relates to immigration laws that prevent illegal people from coming into our country. No illegals are sent to the gas chamber or forced to work in concentration camps. I am not Jewish, but we should never mock the suffering of Jews in WWII or ignore the Islamic militants who want to begin a new Holocaust.

Answer 5

I agree with most of the answers so far although the idea that the holocaust should be forgotten because it occured over 60 years ago seems questionable. One of the reasons that the holocaust and Hitler are used as a basis of comparison so often is because they represent, what seems to be, some of the most compelling evidence for the idea of evil in humanity.

"More than 25 million military personnel and more than 33 million civilians died in World War II. Some estimates, such as the 6 million Jews who died in massacres, ghettos and concentration camps, have been attributed to records kept by the Germans. But it is impossible to know precise numbers because of the men, women and children who starved to death or died of disease related to wartime deprivations."

Major events in human history are remembered because certainly the past tends to repeat, especially if it's largely forgotten. The horrendous question of genocide remains a contemporary issue... over 2 million have been killed in the Sudan, over half a million in Uganda, Cambodia... etc.

Also, sixty years in even modern human history is a relatively very short period of time. The effects of the atrocities are still very much felt by millions of people.

Answer 6

The Holocaust refers to a single event. To refer to something as "a holocaust", or to compare something that doesn't involve an action as grave and horrific as mass torture and genocide is, indeed, offensive. I'm not jewish, either, but rights when you are an illegal guest of a country isn't the same as mass murder. It's not in the same league.

Answer 7

i'm truly searching ahead to this Ashes series and honestly have not thoroughly written the Aussies off. inspite of the actuality that England might want to bypass into the series as overwhelming favourites as a results of modern form and the actual shown actuality that the series is being performed in England. I reckon Chris Rogers may be somewhat a gloomy horse as he's easily-known with the situations over the following rather nicely. good to be certain some pleasant banter flying round between both instruments of supporters too!

Answer 8

I'm not Jewish and I think it's despicable. That alone proves that illegals will SAY ANYTHING to promote their lunacy. This is the most offensive remark I have heard them say. There are many but this one is just so foolish for them to dare to compare millions of Jews being murdered by madmen to their criminal invasion. It's appalling to say the least.

Answer 9

How were they comparing the immigration to the Holocaust?

Be specific.

Answer 10

Ask Jessica. I'd say it bothers them.

To the post above me, the question comes up from time to time on this board whether our treatment of illegals is like Nazi Germany's treatment of the Jews.

It is silly, but they try.

Answer 11

Millions were murdered in the holocaust.
What in the hell does that have to do with our Immigration laws?
