"entirely disproportionate to their actual triggers,"
I don't really think we are that far apart on this - we are talking about the thousands of Arabs that were slaughtered by Jewish "freedom Fighters" and Israeli collusion in the deaths of "700–800 to 3,500 (depending on the source)" refugees at Shatila and Sabra, compared to the millions who were exterminated by the Nazis (it's often forgotten that the final figure includes Gypsies, Trades Unionists, and "mental and physical deficiants")
For me, these are significant enough figures for a comparison to be drawn, but I really am open to argument. I am more than aware of my tendency to overstate, but am not sure this is the case here
"Jim, I am not surprised you do not want to discuss your attempted deception by editing"
Your attempts to implicate others in your own behaviour only serve to underline your dishonesty.
Unlike your editing (removing sentences from the middle of the piece which totally changed the purpose of the statement), I edited nothing; what I included changed nothing - I pointed out what I had done and why I did it and gave the link to the whole piece.
In your panic when you were first caught out, you attempted to something similar but quickly abandoned the idea when you realised you were getting nowhere - you would have done well to stick with your first instincts.
