That is so far fetched and also a lack of respect for the 6.000.000 Jews that have been killed by the Nazis. You cannot even compare nether the numbers not the humanitarian situation in the Ghettos and in Gaza. In Gaza nobody is starving to death and nobody is going to Gas chambers. You should all be ashamed! <strong><em> Shimshon, I am truly sorry that you can not see what your country's regime has perpetrated, the unspeakable horrors of israel starving and incinerating Gazan civilians.

That saying says it all, a great encapsulation. It takes great moral courage and fortitude to confront and overcome trauma both as individuals and for groups of people. I am encouraged by the experience of South Africans in their reconciliation commissions and the <a href="http://peoplesgeography.com/2006/10/09/what-the-amish-are-teaching-america/" rel="nofollow">American Amish</a> example of forgiveness. In the latter, I was very impressed with how much more culturally and emotionally more mature the Amish culture seems; they really do put into practise a key teaching of Christ -- and Gandhi's. The wonderful thing about redemption rather than revenge is that it releases both parties. How very apt, Monte, thank you. That saying says it all, a great encapsulation.
