A direct quote from the finance minister of Israel today: "Nobody will let us cause 2 million civilians to die of hunger, even though it might be justified and moral, until our hostages are returned."

I feel like there are some people who only think the holocaust was bad because it targeted Jews, and it would have been fine if the Jews were left out of it. Just to make it clear, any attempt to bring death to millions of innocent people makes you a level of evil you can never atone for. I don't care which people they are.

I'm fairly certain the concentration camps were filled with all sorts of undesirables. Genocide of any kind for any reason is pure evil and we have to treat any perpetrators with extreme contempt.

Imagine something like that happens. How would you feel if you were the hostage that was freed? I'm no martyr and I'm sure those hostages want to live but how do you carry on knowing what was done in your name?
