ADL Calls On Politicians To Refrain From Using Holocaust Imagery

[Richardols]

Then get rid of the offending citations

How about getting rid of offensive citations in the Bible?

Not at all. But what does that have to do with using the term holocaust to perfectly describe aboritons?

There are no parallels in the attitude of the Germans towards those they considered to be “untermenschen,” the methods of killing the Jews, and the motivation for doing the killings and abortion.

But more children have been murdered by abortions than by the Nazi’s Richard so it is a perfect example of a holocaust!

Not at all, as I’ve said above. There is no comparison between abortion and the official acts of the people of a nation against another people.

respecting jewish feelings on this matter and opposing abortion are two separate, completely unrelated things. to pretend they are somehow mutully exclusive is absurd.

the catechism enjoins us to respect non-christian people’s faith and to engage them in dialogue. why would the church teach that if that somehow contradicted the church’s teaching on abortion?

Just so. Is there no catchword anti-abortionists could come up with that would be unique to anti-abortion without deliberately disrespecting Jewish feelings?

Yes, it is currently used “HOLOCAUST”

What sort of “logic” are YOU using?

Ah excuse me, but shouldn’t other religions be open to criticism? You’re allowed to have an opinion but yet I’m not? That’s radical.

The Cambodia Holocaust? The Rwandan Holocaust? And so on. No. Such minimizes the singular horror of the German campaign against the Jews.

What’s wrong with those descriptions?

What do you mean by “singular horror”?

Those events were every bit as bad as the 1940’s Holocaust.

Study the history of Genocide in the 20th Century. There is nothing unique about the killing of Jews by the Nazis during WWII. The same racial ideologies, scapegoating, dehumanization, and methods were used against Armenians by Turks, against Ukranians, Kulaks, Kazahks and many others by the Soviets, against Poles, Gypsies, homosexuals and socialists by the Nazis, against ethnic Chinese by the Indonesians, against Cambodians by the Khmer Rouge, against Tutsis by the Hutus.

It’s all part of one big ugly pattern.

In fact abortion fits into the pattern very well. Ideology to justify killing: check. Dehumanization: check. Scapegoating: check. Systematic killing: check.

God Bless

This is blatantly anti-semitic.

Cry me a river.

Straight from the Talmud/Cabalah:

Kethoboth 3b: “The seed (child) of a Christian is of no more value than that of a beast.”

Baba Kama 113a: "A Jew may lie and perjure to condemn a Christian. b. “The name of God is not profaned when lying to Christians.”

Hikkoth Akum X 1: “Do not save Christians in danger of death.”

Kohar I 160a: “Jews must always try to deceive Christians.”

Zohar I 25b: “Those who do good to Christians will never rise from the dead.”

Zohar II 43a: “Extermination of Christians is a necessary sacrifice.”

Zohar II 64b: “The Christian birthrate must be materially diminished.”

Oh but R.C. all of those things are ok just look at how the Jews suffered by Catholic hands.
