The Holocaust is justifiable

Counterarguments: 1. Utilitarianism I never said that our country is racist, because it is not. However, people are more likely to be racist against African-Americans due to the fact the most criminals are black. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org... Racism - the belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org... All Jews opposed Hitler, because Hitler was trying to eliminate their whole population out. He believed in antisemitism and racial hygiene that the Jews were responsible for the Germany's loss in World War I and Nazi tried to cleanse Europe of Jews, Communists, Gypsies, homosexuals, political dissidents, the mentally retarded and insane. You may argue that justification of slavery, torture or mass murder would require unrealistically large benefits to outweigh the direct and extreme suffering to the victims. First, utilitarians would agree that acts such as enslavement and genocide always cause great unhappiness and little happiness. Second, human rights could be considered rules of thumb; although torture might be acceptable under some circumstances, as a rule it is immoral. Killing all Jews doesn't seem "extremely over-exaggerated and was a necessary action to insure the greater good be achieved." What greater good does killing all the Jews in Germany come out of it? None, because Germany still couldn't rule the world even if the Jews never existed in Germany. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org... http://en.wikipedia.org... There are rumors that Albert Einstein stole other people's scientific papers and intellectual property. However, he is best known for his theory of relativity and specifically mass–energy equivalence, E = mcï¿½. Einstein received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics "for his services to Theoretical Physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect." Whether he stole the anything will never be disputed by me because it was well known that Einstein is "the greatest scientist of the twentieth century and one of the supreme intellects of all time", according to A Ranking of the Most Influential Persons in History. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org... http://www.webcitation.org... It as also well known that during the 1930s and into World War II, Einstein wrote affidavits recommending United States visas for a huge number of Jews from Europe trying to flee persecution, raised money for Zionist organizations and was in part responsible for the formation, in 1933, of the International Rescue Committee. He wouldn't be better off dead unless you can get another person much more intelligent than him who can replace him.

The end doesn't justifies the means Consequentialism - those moral theories which hold that the consequences of a particular action form the basis for any valid moral judgment about that action From a consequentialist standpoint, a morally right action is one that produces a good outcome, or consequence. Moral theories such as consequentialism are unable to adequately explain why a morally wrong action is morally wrong. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org... Moral - of or relating to principles of right and wrong in behavior : ethical b: expressing or teaching a conception of right behavior c: conforming to a standard of right behavior d: sanctioned by or operative on one's conscience or ethical judgment e: capable of right and wrong action Source: http://www.merriam-webster.com... Therefore, the Holocaust is only justified if it is moral. According to the 5th commandment: You shall not kill / You shall not murder, the Holocaust violates this rule. The only exceptions is the rights of states to execute criminals, other methods of protecting society such as incarceration, rehabilitation, and war,once all peace efforts have failed , governments cannot be denied the right of lawful self-defense. According to the fifth commandment, the Holocaust does not fall under the exceptions. The Jews are not criminals, accused of nothing more guilty than being themselves, did nothing of treachery against Germany, didn't even try to take over Germany. Therefore, you can infer than the Jews have no threat to the society and the Holocaust was NOT moral. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org... Even if you're not a Christian, Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide officially recognized genocide as a crime. Do you think still think that genocide is moral, even though most of the world agrees that it is not and that genocide is against mortality and humanity? If an entire population opposes you and your views, then you shouldn't do so for these following reasons: 1. Waste of time 2. You will never succeed 3. It is against the fifth amendment of the ten commandments. 4. Genocide is a crime under international law 5. You will never benefit from destroying them especially if they hadn't commit any crimes against you 6. There are great and intelligent thinkers from every race. 7. Racial discrimination contradicts the 1776 United States Declaration of Independence, the 1789 Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen issued during the French Revolution and the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights, signed after World War II, which all postulate equality between all human beings. 8. The Genocide is not moral that is contributing to happiness or pleasure as summed among all persons. 9. Genocide is against Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hindu, Buddhism, and many other religions. 10. It is morally and ethically wrong.

All is fair in love and war The Holocaust is only moral if it was right and the only way to take a human life morally is capital punishment, abortion and wars of invasion. Unfortunately, no one except Hitler and the Nazi Party (and possibly you) thinks that the Holocaust was moral. "Everyone and anyone should be allowed to do whatever possible that is at their disposal to insure the safety and prosperity of their respective peoples." So were the Jewish people criminals, murderers, Satanist, evil, rapers, or as the childish term "bad people"? Did the Jews threatened the economy of Germany, created genocides against Hitler, or tried to kill Hitler, or even stop him from winning the war? 4. Hitler didn't care for Germany at the end of World War II "Hitler's stubbornness and defiance of military realities also allowed the Holocaust to continue." I hope you read that from http://en.wikipedia.org.... His intentions for creating the Holocaust was to eliminate the entire Jewish population. You call that a "good intention"? He would still lost even if the Jewish population never existed in Germany. What if he made an alliance with the Jews to support Germany so the Jews can fight in World War II? Therefore, he wouldn't have to use money on worthless, time consuming, racial intentions. Then he would have a better chance of winning, in theory. Conclusion: Hitler had worthless intentions that ultimately led to his downfall, and because of his actions, the Holocaust was not a moral action since it fell into the category of genocide.
