And that was only China. The Philippines suffered greatly as well, and so did the Koreans. Ever heard of the Bataan Death March? Or the fact that you
are more than twice as likely to die in a Japanese PoW camp than in a Nazi one?
It is just too messed up and too many innocent people died in too horrible of ways. At least being gassed you are spared the humiliation and torment
and rape. And what really pissed me off was that I remember in my 10th grade AP World History book it had a whole section on the Holocaust but TWO
SENTENCES about the AiA.
I think this downplaying of history is to make Jewish people seem like the only ones who were wronged during the Second World War. Sure, they
suffered, but they do not deserve the immunity to criticism that they now have. I mean, the Holocaust is illegal to question in some countries for
god's sake. Doesn't that sound sketchy? I'm not saying that it didn't happen or anything, but everything should be subject to questioning and
skepticism, because that's the only way to ensure truth. I think they (they, being those in power) purposefully exemplified the suffering of the Jews
in order to establish the Jewish State of Israel, which by the way, was created without the consent of the Arab states, and you wonder why they hate
us, and Israel, of course. Notice I did not say they hated Jews. Just Israel. And the western powers, especially the US because of how much we've
messed with them while at the same time supporting Israel.
But my point is, there is an obvious downplaying of history. Why has nobody heard of what happened to Asia, and why is the Holocaust taught so early
on and then reinforced throughout the years? My speculation is that the Holocaust is used favorably for Israel like 9/11 works for the US. But what do
you think?
I'm not hating on Jews, by the way.
