Loving, comment: Wow, this from a leading academic institution? Oh goodness, we are in trouble. And what argument will you conjure to rule off limits per se such comparisons as, hmmm, comparing the Spanish, American extermination of 12 million American Indians with the Holocaust, or cancer of the brain with cancer of the lung, or Enron's destroying the wealth of masses with Wall Streets destroying of the wealth of masses...? There are reasons to rule off limits per se, all these things, but the pursuit of Truth is impoverished if the examination is prevented or INTIMIDATED. What you are arguing is that for whatever reason, we should carefully, religiously, Sacredly, mysteriously restrict learning from one of the most inhumane events in all human history, the Holocaust, to honor and protect the memory of the victims? Huh? No. Honoring the victims is to find the guts, the courage, the stamina to honestly, relentlessly try to understand the atrocity, injustice, inhumanity of the Holocaust in every relevant context so that it happens 'Never Again.' This is obvious, except to those that relentlessly DisHonor the Holocaust victims by using the Holocaust as a brutal propaganda weapon to enable right wing Israeli's and their supporters to visit whatever cruel illegalities and brutality on our Palestinian brothers and sisters. http://jesusgodgoodetcnjay.blogspot.com
