You then tread into pure hate territory, you claim that 'backlash' is due to things the Jews do? Simple hate, but I will give you the opp to fix what you wrote.
Some jewish families for sure get angry when someone marries outside the religion, but it is not too common. But again, you paint the entire religion that way.

Really? Because I live and work in a city with hundreds of thousands of jews and a very high percentage of them won't consider marriage outside of their religion. Is it over 50%? Probably not, maybe not even 30%, but to say "it is not too common" is inaccurate. Heck, I dated a girl ate pepperoni pizza all the time but one of the reasons things never got that serious was her families desire for her to marry within the religion.
I don't begrudge any of the attention paid to the jewish side of the holocaust, I just wish that other atrocities were equally recognized. Whether the blame lies with those groups for not publicizing it is a whole different discussion, one that I'd rather not get into as many people are incapable of discussing it without things getting out of hand.
