Thread Name: Yom HaShoah (Holocaust Remembrance Day)
Subject: RE: Yom HaShoah (Holocaust Remembrance Day)
Well, I'm glad to see the thread get back to what I think Alex's original point was. (Thanks, Blackcatter) Irv and Tedham, I think Alex clarified the statements that seem to have been misunderstood as "anti-semitic." Trying to paint him as an anti-Semite because he disagrees with you only makes YOU look like jackasses. And I can say that I agree with some of what he said. When I was in high school (not that long ago), the non-Jewish Holocaust victims were barely mentioned. I'm sure you both mention all the other Holocaust victims in your services or whatnot. I'm even willing to believe that most Jews do the same. But Tedham's original post did NOT. 90%+ of what is mentioned about "Holocaust Remembrance" in the press doesn't mention non-Jews. You know this is true, or you are ignorant.

All the time you spend digging around his Mudcat history, looking for clues of his horrible, evil, racist tendencies could have been better spent arguing the facts with him in a civilised fashion. (Something that Tedham, at least, spent some time doing) Get a friggin' hobby, or act like big boys and stop calling names.

Well, I'm not saying anything new. Just wanted to add my own "Screw you, guys," to the mix. :)
