What people write the "first time" is reflective of their pure beliefs...not what they say after they have been criticized and "modify" the original statements.
The Holocaust is part of the collective Jewish identity for many people. It must never be forgotten, and efforts to encourage Jews not to hold onto these "grievances" is ridiculous.
It is equally ridiculous to lump ALL Jews as part of a "culture of violence". There are many, many, many more violent cultures in the world, and there is plenty more insane violence elsewhere than Israel. Why doesn't Mr. Ghandi get on his high horse about the situation in Darfur, as one small example, or should we not care about the genocide and displacement of THOSE people, because they are not part of the world-wide geopolitical agenda?
