Proof that Chavez is an idiot Options

My favorite line:

Mr Chavez rounded on Israel at the weekend, accusing the Jewish state of committing a "new Holocaust".

Yeah, 1,000 vs. 6+million dead... those are comparable.

I am not saying the deaths are right, but this seems like a Jew bash if I've ever seen one. The problem is that people are one side or the other, which isn't right. Jewish deaths aren't right and neither are Lebanese deaths. We just need to understand that Hezbollah is at the center of this entire mess and their leader has vowed to destroy Israel.

So we don't have muslims and jews living the United States?  How many rockets have you seen them shooting at each other over in New York where they pretty much pass each other on the street by the hundreds of thousands or more?  Pretty much the extent of the violence between them over here is on Conan O'Brien or some comedian's routine.  Blame it on religion if you want, but that's a copout.  This is nothing more than old hate and politics.  People are being raised to hate the other.  In that respect it is very similiar to the holocaust.

I dont think there is anything that I honestly hate more than when people attempt to make unsolid comparisons to the Holocaust.


2 things are wrong with your post.

1) People can hate each other without killing each other

2) You are mistaking a religion and an ethnicity. Arabs are not necessarily Muslim. Many of the Arabs in the US today are from Lebanon where a large portion of their Arab population is Christian, not Muslim. Arabs and Israelis dont hate each other.... Muslims and Jews usually do.
