Of the Ugandan rival tribe's experience of Idi Amin's attempt to exterminate them (drinking their blood, to which extreme even the Nazis didn't go). Of the Armenian experience of the first Holocaust of the century, when the Turks tried to exterminate *them*. Of the American Indian's experience when they were given blankets infected with smallpox, so they'd convieniently disappear, leaving the land open for white settlers? The Jewish experience is the ***human*** experience. It's attitudes like "the Jews are somehow different" that led to Sabra and Chattella, to the intolerence of the Israelis(not Jews in general, note) for the Palastinians, and which will lead to the next Holocaust, that will probably destroy the planet. Come on people! We're all brothers and we've got to share this small planet, whether we like it or not. Let's get together before it's too late! !arizona:jim
