This would make some difference if Foxman did not ALSO insist that WE regard all mankind as the same.
Jews are not dedicated to their own survival, they are dedicated to everyone else's destruction.
This puts them in a WORSE position morally.
NOT SPAM
I posted Abe Foxman and Jewish commentary in an earlier blog entry, but I meant to say that I think to some extent that Jews are right that the Jewish Holocaust was a rare occurrence in recent history, since it involves an ethnic minority (with the definition of Jews as an ethnic group) that was targeted for murder within a region (Europe) and also because of its alleged scale and systematic nature. The closest recent examples I can think of are the Kurds in Iraq, maybe the people of East Timor at the hands of Indonesians and the Armenians at the hands of the Turks.
To my knowledge, the Communist purges only targeted political dissidents and peasants, not minority ethnic groups.
Although a search just turned up a story about a genocide against the Hmong minority in Laos.
