[TS] Serdar, you still ignore the genocide of approximately one million

[CA] Never mind what Serdar ignores.  Do you agree that same
[CA] geneocide claims by Armenians also applicable to Ottoman Muslims
[CA] (Turks/Kurds)?  If "yes" skip the rest. 
[CA] If your answer is "no." Why?  

[CA] This a fact that number by number the loss and suffering of 
[CA] Ottoman Muslims far a head of Armenians by the end 
[CA] of WWI.  However, I haven't seen any one in the West got up and said 
[CA] "wait a minute" when Armenians start contending
[CA] with that they would be a sole benefactor of such recognition
[CA] without mentioning of other huge civilian sufferings
[CA] inflicted on Ottoman Muslims.   

This is bullshit, and you know it. Do you think Armenians were going to let
this crap get by? 

Six million Jews died at the hands of the Germans, but over ten million 
Germans died in WWII. The Jewish deaths were genocidal, the deaths of
the Germans were the results of German entry into armed conflict . Since
you can't see the difference, it is no wonder you ask the foolish questions
at the end of your posting.

...BS deleted...

[CA]  1. Did Jews establish Jewish armies behind German lines to backstab 
[CA]     Germans and to establish a Jewish State on German soil? 

There were Zionist units fighting in Germany, and British sponsored Jewish
units in Italy. There were Jews fighting in the US Military against Germany.
And anyway, so what if they did, would that have justified genocide? There
were Jewish units in Palestine after WWII fighting for a homeland. Using your
logic the Arabs should have commited genocide on these Jews establishing a
Jewish State on Arab soil. You fool! 

[CA]  2. Did Jews organize and carry out a general slaughter of the local
[CA]     Christian population in Hamburg, Darmstad, Koln? 
     
Oh, I see, if the Jew had indeed carried out a slaughter, then it would have
been OK to have committed genocide on the Jews. Hmm..interesting logic!

[CA]  3. Did Jews raise an army of one hundred and fifty thousand men to 
[CA]     fight a civil war? 

No, and neither did the Armenians. Go ahead, present your evidence.

[CA] It is those arguments make the Holocaust a unique crime that no one
[CA] have a slightest clue why it has happenned.

What a fool!
