Comments on: The End of the Holocaust (Todd May) http://canadiandimension.com/articles/2006/07/31/599/ Thu, 08 Jan 2009 00:30:41 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.3 By: Michael Teper http://canadiandimension.com/articles/2006/07/31/599/#comment-16908 Michael Teper Thu, 03 Aug 2006 16:59:36 +0000 http://canadiandimension.com/articles/2006/07/31/599/#comment-16908 <p>So what do you suggest Israel do, Mr. May? Perhaps Israel should let Hezbollah rain down rockets on cities in northern Israel, and do nothing. What would you consider a proportionate response to be? How about if Israel voluntarily dissolved itself, and all the Jews there just packed their bags and scattered themselves throughout the world, starting again an exile that first began during the time of the Roman empire. Would that satisfy you?</p> <p>It's strange how the accidental, at worst negilegent killing of 100 people in the course of a defensive war can, in your opinion, be enough to require the "abandonment of the discursive link" between the Jewish state and the planned and deliberate enslavement and eradication of one-third of the Jewish people.</p> <p>You ask, "How many massacres can Israel commit before this dispensation [between the Holocaust and the state of Israel] runs out?" Hmmm. Good question. How about 6,000,000? Sounds like a reasonable number, since the despisers of Israel have such a fetish about "proportional" responses.</p> So what do you suggest Israel do, Mr. May?

It’s strange how the accidental, at worst negilegent killing of 100 people in the course of a defensive war can, in your opinion, be enough to require the “abandonment of the discursive link” between the Jewish state and the planned and deliberate enslavement and eradication of one-third of the Jewish people.

You ask, “How many massacres can Israel commit before this dispensation [between the Holocaust and the state of Israel] runs out?” Hmmm. Good question. How about 6,000,000? Sounds like a reasonable number, since the despisers of Israel have such a fetish about “proportional” responses.
