As a Jew I am outraged by this. The so-called Zionists don't like to hear this, but they are doing to the Palestinians exactly what the Nazis did to us.

You don't get around religious doctrine on a technicality.

Obviously, a remedial class in Holocaust history is in order. Look carefully at these absolutely horrifying, chilling pictures of mass executions and torture. You are comparing Bush to this, this, and this? All innocent victims, mind you. In the photos from the first link, you see pictures of human medical experiments involving freezing, surgeries, and head-shrinking. Bush is against stem cell research, for crying out loud!

Please read up on Adolph Hitler so you don't embarrass yourself in public again. Hitler's Nazi party is responsible for the deaths of 11 million innocent people. There's simply no legitimate comparison to Bush in any respect whatsoever. Everything about the two men is different: politics, principles, priorities, religion, worldview, philosophies, leadership style, attitude, demeanor, relationships, sociability, values, likes, dislikes, etc, etc, etc.

The closest modern-day comparison to Hitler is probably Saddam Hussein. Arafat would take the title, except that he doesn't have much power anymore.

From the Soc.Culture.Newsgroups FAQ:

"There is an over-riding principle in Judaism (every movement) that any Jewish law can be broken when it comes to saving a human life. The only exceptions are for idolotry, adultery, or murder. These are the only situation in which is Jew must choose death to avoid violating the law."

And from the Chassidism FAQ:

"You shall live by these laws, not die by them."

"Violate one Sabbath that you may live to keep many Sabbaths"

Jesus Christ. Is there something going on here that I don't know about? Some sort of contest to see who can produce the most overwrought and disproportionate response?

Free clue: this is not the holocaust, this a system to prevent shoplifting. If you are unsure of the difference, allow me to help you out: this is what the holocaust looked like.

See the difference?

Hmmm. I sent private email to Sengan about the domain name squabble. I did not expect to have my name broadcast so prominently, when I post followup comments to slashdot, I just call myself trb. I am not the Minix guy, and neither of our names is spelled Tannebaum. I'm Andrew Tannenbaum, I've been hacking UNIX for over 20 years, I was more active on the net/usenet before it got so crowded. The Minix guy is Andrew S. Tanenbaum. We both worked at Bell Labs at the same time around 1980, and the mailroom found it somewhat confusing. If want to be ambiguous in a different way, call me trb.
