michaelr said Artbrooks -- those of us who care about justice will not "give it a rest", as you advocate. Would you have said the same to Simon Wiesenthal?

Wiesenthal did important work in the time relevant to WWII. But yes, "give it a rest" definitely needs to be the message to the government of Israel that has, ironically and tragically, duplicated the ghettos in which Jews were situated during that war. Look at Gaza, look at the Palestinian refugee camps. The Jews did that to the Palestinians. "A child learns what it lives" is more than the first line of a poem on baby formula cans.
