Were all the banks of Germany emptied and indeed all of all Europe's banks and the hidden treasuries of gold and silver kept in the private homes of all the citizens of Germany and of all Europe - it still would not be enough - it would not begin to repay the mental anguish, suffering, destruction that was put upon the Jewish people. It would not even begin to scratch the surface of repaying the Jewish people their sufferings. You need to understand that because it is the truth. You obviously have no comprehension of what happened before, during and after the holocaust. None whatsoever. Or you could not say such a thing. You should be ashamed of yourself.
So by you standards of empathy Jeremiah.
Are you willing to empty your bank account.......drive to the nearest ghetto........and start handing out cash to the black people because of the past evils of slavery?? .......
My ancestors were not here when slavery took place in this nation. My grandparents came over from Ireland along with all their family. Long after all of that took place. My family is not from the south either. My own immediate family is the first to move here and that was in recent times. We are a family that is adamantly opposed to racism.
The same cannot be said of Europe. ( or the Muslim World ) The holocaust was just yesterday in considering it a historical event.. When the Jews who survived the holocaust returned to their homes and land they found the Germans / other Europeans living in their homes. Having taken possession of their homes and lands and claiming them for their own. You are comparing apples to oranges, Sunni man. No comparision can logically be made.
Europe does indeed owe something to the Jewish people that can never be re-payed. Besides robbing them of their families, husbands, wives, children, grandchildren, grandparents, their very lives and future,add to this the robbery of all their wealth, their art, their belongings, their businesses, their homes, their lands, the fillings out of their teeth even - they owe them for the mental anguish, the sufferings, the turning a blind eye and ignoring the pleas for help - the absolute horror of it all - it can never be re-payed. It is high time that you understood this.
Sunni man - if you are concerned about the history of slavery you should look up the national geographic study about how there are over 300 million black people - slaves - missing from the sub Saharan region of Africa due to the practice of castration by arab Muslim slave owners who castrated all the black male slaves for a period of approximately 600 years or more. Do you realize how many 300 million black people are? That is the approximate population of the USA! This is what the Muslim Arab slavers did to the people on the sub Saharan region of Africa over a period of 600 years or more! What do you believe the Islamic world owes in reparations of 300 million missing human lives?
The National Geographic report can be found in Don Richardson's book Secrets of the Koran and you should realize that the practice of slavery continues in the Muslim world and it is quite horrific that it should be permitted in the 21st century yet we continue to hear the stories coming out about the abuse of slaves owned by Muslims. You should look up Richardson's book. You're in for a
rude awakening when it comes to slavery, Sunni. I'm glad you mentioned it so I would have the opportunity to bring that to your attention. It is something you need to know.
