Just watch and then tell me how good it feels to spout off rumors, lies and hateful remarks about them.

Alright, maybe I should have re-phrased my original question. I am not demeaning what the Holocaust ensued, nor what other religions have gone through; I was meaning to just point out that Jehovah's Witnesses are the most persecuted group of today just because of their faith.

Jehovah's Witnesses, including in the US in the 1918 and in the 1940's.
Our persecution was because of faith, not nationality.
Jew's have different faiths among their Nation, you have the Orthodox Jew, and those who have become Christian.
Jehovah's Witnesses are an International brotherhood, made but from many different nationalities all over the earth.
And we have also been persecuted for Preaching the Good News of Gods Kingdom.

What is happening is obviously wrong, and should be condemned. JW's are in general peaceful and law abiding. There beliefs are based on a fundamentally different interpretation of the bible than other Christians. They also point out bluntly that "False religion" "Babylon the great"(Christians not of there faith) will receive judgment from God at Armageddon.
So you can imagine that in a violent county/culture with opposing fundamentalist beliefs these events can occur.
Religious freedom should be upheld by the law.

Jews.... got Holocaust? But why dwell on all the negative? The best way to 'get even' for persecution is to live long and keep on being you believing in what you believe in spite of it all.

Starting w/ Jesus, His son.

"Jews.... got Holocaust? But why dwell on all the negative? The best way to 'get even' for persecution is to live long and keep on being you believing in what you believe in spite of it all."
The reason we talk about it so much is because Judaism pretty much follows a "Forgive but do not forget" phillosophy.
When people forget about facts, it is when they are bound to happen again.

to answer your question, try the holocaust, or the turkish genocide against armenian and assyrian christians, where they murdered 75% of the assyrian population, not too long ago.
