Even today, in my home country those who support Israel
use very often this question against those who critize
Israel´s actions:"Haven´t the Jews suffered enough?"

To them all actions of Israel are justified on the
basis of the history of the Jews. The state of Israel
and it´s representatives can´t do nothing wrong,
because the Nazis murdered 6 million Jews. The 4400
Palestinians who have died since the beginning of the
first intifada don´t matter, because people who were
murdered 60 years ago matter more.

The people who think that this question will silence all
critics of Israel will often weep when they see pictures
from the concentration camps. But if they see a child who
have been shot dead by teenage Israeli soldier, they show
no emotion. They may claim that it is regrettable, but will
certainly utter something like this: "Israel must protect
itself!" Like the Germans were "protecting" themselves from
Jews, Gypsies and all the rest of their victims.
