Just because you vote for the guy doesnt mean you support everything they do, much less take it on yourself to go out and start murdering innocent civilians.

Again, you have a real knack for putting words in people's mouth. "If you believe A, then you must believe B...". Sorry, but it doesn't always work that way.
The common German citizens may not have actively hunted down Jews if they were armed, but it is also very unlikely that they would have aided a rebellion against the Nazis. The anti-Semetism was pretty strong in the general population and IF there was an armed rebellion of Jews, I cant imagine that it would have helped that much. If anything, the common Germans would have hated to see a Jewish armed uprising.

If you truly believed that, then given the state of the world at that time, your line of thinking as a common denominator among the worlds populace would mean we would all be Nazis right now. Such a defeatist attitude is honestly sad to hear.

What? Seriously, where the hell did that come from? Does this make sense to anyone else reading this?
The Nazis were defeated by soldiers with guns... not civilians. Just like pretty much every war in history.
