Actually no. I said Palestinians are idiots because they continue to thump their head against the wall for no apparent purpose, engaging in a war that they can't possibly win while condemning their people to a perpetual cycle of poverty and repression in the process. Since the Israeli's have demonstrated in the past they will trade land for peace and have honoured those agreements, I suggested the Palestinians stop shooting and start negotiating seriously. In turn, they would probably get a lot more global sympathy from dickheads like me regarding Israeli tactics, which could only help them, and they would probably have a country by now if they had already done so. That is what I said. Basically, I said the Palestinians are morons.
Ah. Well it's a relief to get such a succinct synopsys. I don't have time for another multi-page battle.
Getting back to the original thought though, will there be statues and memorials in Germany for those who ran the other way? Or do we find that millions of Germans of that era consider them with disdain?
Hard to say. I'd like to think that the documentation of the realities of the ethnic cleansing would have shocked some "sense" into them (from our perspective), but I think it's safe to say that if the Nazis had won Schindler's List would have been a much different movie... in the same way that Alberta's beef industry would be portrayed much differently if Hindu's ever take over the world B)
