Your 'illustration' is a bit flawed there. The 'evidence' is verbal testimony which isn't necessarily supported or corroborated by anyone who has a reason to be IMpartial. (Yes I know there are scars, but the account of how they came to be is only verbal, isn't it?)
I'm going to 'predict' that someone will make nasty comments about my being 'cold-blooded' here, which is fine. I was 'cold-blooded' when hearing the stories about Iraqi troops taking Kuwaiti babies out of incubators, too......
Edited. We do not discuss what happens on other Message Boards here. You can complain all you want, I could care less.
If I accept your argument, then any first hand testimony of victims of crimes is entitled to no credibility. And I would have to assume such things as concluding Holocaust survivors lied about everything they say they witnessed in death camps.
Are you aware our judicial system gives the most credibilty to first hand accounts of events, and that most certainly includes a victim's testimony of crimes committed against them?
A human being does not lose their ability to speak truthfully about crimes and human rights abuses committed against them, just because they are not Jewish.
Victims are entitled to speak out about crimes committed against them, and humanity benefits when we listen to their stories and respond to them in a positive fashion.
