Today's discussion questions

[sabotabby]

It's another one of those long days at school and I won't be around, so here are two discussion questions for you. Fight talk amongst yourselves.

1. What do we think of this news story? There's a lot in there, so let's pick it to pieces.

2. Speaking of genocide, the Toronto District School Board has a new history course dealing with the subject. It officially recognizes three genocides: Armenia, the Holocaust, and Rwanda. What's missing, and why do you think they chose to exclude the genocide that happened in the country where the course will be taught.

Have a happy Friday!

Furthermore, the overuse of the Holocaust card brings about a decline in support for Israel among young American Jews. So it isn't just manipulative, but it is also stupid and bad for the Israeli Jews themselves (umm... ourselves).
What Bush says about Jews "standing strong for what they believed" is ahistorical. This isn't 1492 Spain where Jews were offered the option of converting to Christianity or leaving the country. They were exterminated on grounds having nothing to do with their religion.
