Of course we should fight crimes against humanity everywhere we find it. There are other organizations concentrating on other countries, so let BDS deal with the country of their choice where they think they can be effective.

Since you have made the correct links between the three countries I assume that you openly support apartheid. A bit surprising since most of the commentators on this site deny that the system exists in Israel.

Deuteronomy is a good place to start. Even today, writers on this website justify the take-over of what is left of Palestine as part of god's will.

What I obviously did not get across is that I dislike this "ranking" of crimes against humanity - it detracts from who is oppressing whom today.

I don't like measuring the injustice of genocide in numbers. But if one must, then the genocide of the native Americans might just land in first place. The estimates vary widely however. In any case, since it was spread over centuries, it does not stand out as strongly as the crimes against the Jews, the Armenians, various African groups, and others. The insensitivity of the US citizens to these crimes can be seen in the current debate on the name change of the "Washington Redskins" - a name like the "Washington Negros" would not be tolerated.

On the yearly anniversaries celebrating D-day or the close of World War II, the politicians of the western world make their annual "never again" speeches, and as usual neglect the dozens of acts of genocide and ethnic cleansing that have taken place since then - starting with the Nakba. In addition, neither France, England, Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, or the United States has ever effectively dealt emotionally with the massive genocide over two centuries against the native Americans.

Doesn't labeling invasion or ethnic cleansing with "Territorial dispute" cause you any problems?

Strange, I thought Old Testament tradition reports that the Jewish tribal god gave the Jews the right to take the land away from the Canaanites.

Neither Bush nor Obama could have undone the damage caused by Truman. in '47. As is usually the case, warnings were given and the later developments were predicted, but the desire to get re-elected was much stronger.

Congratulations, in producing an article about Germany, in contrast to almost everything else on townhall.com, that is almost totally neutral and accurate!
