Why emphasize on the Jews?

Question

Yeah, no offence to anyone, I know there was a whole Holocaust and everything during WW2, they got persecuted and killed and etc. It was all very sad but that was just a small small tinnyyyyy percentage of the people that got killed during WW2. I just dont get why it's the main focus of the war most of the time to the extent where Britain actually promised them their own country...

I never said CIVILIAN casualties...I meant OVERALL casualties, military families still suffer the same and anyone that lost a love one in Iraq should know, Iraqis, Americas, and of other nationalities...

So someone *cough* Bobby *cough* shouldnt jump to simplistic moronic conclusions and assumptions about other peoples questions...

Answer 1

the media is run by jews that's why jews are emphasized most often, plus the huge majority of them are all happy and well this very day. Other civilians of different nationalities and ethnic origins were and are STILL being brutally killed....until this very day. it's just not fair is it?

Answer 2

They were wronged. But the way they got their country was slightly wierd also. It was probably a strategic placement of them, so that Britan would have a degree of control in the middle east. I guess they figured that them being in a tight spot would give them unofficial rule. This is because if you put a minority in charge of an area, and you leave them, they majority will retaliate. So If America and Britian abandon them, they are going to be in trouble. So they unofficially rule them. It was not out of good will that is probably a cover up.

My friend says it is because they got a lot of influential people high up. However, also whenever he sees a black girl with a belly he says she is probably pregnent. So this is questionable.

No one will give a country of that size out of plane pity. Everything on that big a scale is normally done for a reason.
Oh and by the way, the Jews situation is not a isolated case. It has happened in the past and is still happening, look at Africa (WooToos and Tootsies), China/India (Killing of baby girls), Sri Lanka (Tamils and Singalese, I know some people may argue against this, but the way the Singalese generals talk on TV about how no matter how many Tamils they kill they keep comming back starts me thinking.) It is just that the Jewish people got the spot light.

Answer 3

The Jews killed were not a tiny percentage, but actually between 10 and 20% depending on the numbers you're looking at that were killed in total throughout the war (there were 6 million Jews killed, total people, 30 to 50).

The reason it was so noteworthy of a genocide is (a) it was during world war 2 (b) the oppressors were supposedly sophisticated (c) the Jews did nothing to deserve it (e.g. they weren't killing each other like in the Balkans).

The reason Britain handed over Palestine was that many supposed Jewish oppression was due to their approx. 2000 year wandering and that Israel would prevent future attrocities to them. Apparently this assumption is mistaken but nonetheless, the Jews are safe in Israel than wandering the world.

Answer 4

Do you mean sympathies?? It's not possible to emphasis with them as none of us are actually in their shoes.

Yes, I do sympathies with the Jews. They were unfairly treated by so many people and still are. Because of what? Something written in the Bible? That's so preposterous.

It's not only those who were killed in WW2 who suffered. What about all their families?

They are all suffering still. In a Jewish cemetery in New Zealand a group of people graffiti grave sites with the Swash Sticker. People need to live for the future not the past.

Answer 5

Because it was the first and only time genocide was committed by a factory assembly line.

The reason the Holocaust is remembered as a "Jewish" catastrophe is because it affected ALL Jews. Something like 3/4 of the world's Jews were slaughtered. Not ALL the world's disabled were slaughtered. Not ALL the ****** were slaughtered. Not ALL children were slaughtered. Of the six million Jews who died, two million were CHILDREN.

Can you think of any other slaughter of innocents in the world's history is worse than the Holocaust?

Think how simple it would have been to prevent the Holocaust if more Christians had come to the aid of the disadvantaged. All it would have taken is for EVERY German to identify himself as a Jew in order to protect all Jews. Norway protected Jews by doing just that -- including the queen!

How many Christians do you think share in the blame for not speaking out for the disadvantaged? If Jesus had not died for their sins, they would have had to answer to GOD for ignoring the plight of the Jews.

God still weeps for the level humanity has sunk to!!!

“All that is necessary for the triumph of evil
is that good people do nothing.”
British statesman Edmund Burke

“Indifference in the face of evil is complicity with evil.”

First they came for the communists, and I did not speak out—
because I was not a communist;
Then they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—
because I was not a socialist;
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—
because I was not a trade unionist;
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
because I was not a Jew;
Then they came for me-- and there was no one left to speak out for me.
-Pastor Martin Niemöller, 1945

Our ancestors were indifferent to the plight of the Jews, but there is still hope for the people of Darfur. President Bush is working with the U.N. to STOP THE GENOCIDE. You can do your part too by asking your legislators to vote for aid for those dying in Sudan. Do we really love our neighbor, or only neighbors who look like us?

Answer 6

although simply put, I think that the allies soldiers (wanted) to fight the Nazis, yet the Jewish didn't have a choice in the matter.
yes I understand about the draft.

also the quickness and severety of the harsh treatment the Jewish withstood does stand out when you consider nearly half their lineage was destroyed in that time period.

Answer 7

There were 13 million civilans murdered by the Nazis, and about 6 million of those were Jews, so it is not a " small small tinnyyyyy percentage of the people that got killed during WW2." It is almost half of the civilian casualties, and it was 40% of the world Jewish population. There were millions of others who were tortured, starved, worked to death and subjected to "medical experimentation."

I suggest you read up on the subject, before you make such simplistic moronic comments on the number of people murdered.

Answer 8

Well, 6 million Jews were brutally killed, for no reason. 5 million more died in the war. Are you at all aware of the atrocities? I remember as a small child seeing # tattoos on left arms...
It was all explained to me later, then I did a bit of research, so I could find out why those old people with the number tattoos looked so haunted. Go online & school yourself girl.

Answer 9

I think that the loss of an entire people basically from the European continent is worth pondering. For example, millions of Russians and Germans died, but there were still many others. In some countries, the basic entire population of Jews was slaughtered.
I hate the thought of some of my relatives having been involved in this, but in some way all of us who have German family members share some guilt.

Answer 10

I never did in the first place
