Obviously all those children had not done anything wrong, but the same
applies to the victims of Hiroshima or Dresden. You of course like to
pretend the Jews had nothing to do with communism. Perhaps you think
the modern Israelis are no kind of a threat to world peace either. But
leaving aside all that, what on earth is wrong with wishing there were
less Muslims, Chinese or whatever in the world? In itself such a wish
is entirely harmless. Or is it morally obligatory to like the Jews as
a people?
