Question Details Asked By Asked On
history and current events rivers 12/16/05
    I barely passed history class so if you could answer a few of my questions maybe it would help me understand what is going on right now.

    1) Where did all the Jewish people of the holocaust come from?
    2) After the holocaust, whose idea was it to make a Jewish state in Israel out there in the middle of hostile territories, or is that where all the jewish people came from to begin with?
    3) Was it a religious or political decision?
    4) Do you have a problem with President Ahmadinejad's suggestion that the Jewish people of Israel be moved to Europe or another area where those responsible for the crimes of the holocaust should pay the price by giving them their own land?
    5) Is there any acceptable place in Europe that the Jewish people could have their own state and peaceful existance?
    6) Who is responsible for the holocaust?
    7) How many Jewish people were murdered?
    8) Why don't other ethnic groups who have suffered genocide get their own states?

      Hello again, riv:

      Ok, you want an answer? I'll give you an answer!

      1) We've been around for 6,000 years. The better question would be where did all the Christians come from?

      2) The U.N. Yes.

      3) Both

      4) I answered below. It's really a very racist question. That's why it pissed me off.

      5) Not really. What city are you gonna move? Where are those people gonna go? How do you move a country? It's really a very stupid proposition.

      6) Who? The Nazi's! But, WHAT is more important. The WHAT is anti-semitisim.

      7) 6 million give or take.

      8) Some do. Some don't. Is the premise of your question, that because other ethnic groups don't get their own state, the Jews shouldn't have one either? I think it is. I think the premise is anti-semitic.

      Frankly, riv. I think the entire question is based on an anti-semitic premise.

      I didn't mean to offend you by posting the questions. All I was trying to do is understand what is going on in the world and what everyone is fighting about
