I read this with a numb horror I have never felt before on the net. It's not even true! Read about the heroic resistance in the Warsaw ghetto, against professional soldiers. "Ideals" which lead to war and butchery need to be condemned and fought.

I will oppose it. When someone professes concern for the poor, and blames their poverty on Jews, I will not be objective. I will work against him. And I will be especially suspicious of any group that does evil while calling itself idealistic.
