"there is a limit to what can be justified by playing the victim of persecution card"

And Palestinians have been doing it for decades. However, the figure of 6 million as a percentage of the 'race' is a helluva lot more than the figure of 20 million as a percentage of the Russian people (USSR)."

True Peace, but that is an argument that one might expect to hear from children in primary school, which would not be accepted by school staff as a justification.

"He did it to me first" is not an acceptable excuse from any adult either.

As for the percentages, tell that to all the Russians who lost loved ones. Their response might shock, but shouldn't surprise you.

Incidentally, I assume that you have numerical evidence for the statement as to the total number of Jewish people worldwide? If not, perhaps you could tell me the basis on which the statement was made.

You have always been one of the more reliable contributors to discussions on this forum (I stress that this comment is sincere, not sarcastic), so I would like to hear your answer.
