The Jew learn a lot from the holocaust, now the Palestine in Gaza are confine in concentration camp and the Arabs and world are doing nothing other than paying lip service. don't do to other, what we won't do to ourselves. Jew and Palestine are human beings and entitle to live a peaceful and happy life.

Today’s Russia has nothing to say about the suffering of the Palestinians. In fact Russian Jews have taken Palestinian lands and Russia has a free visa regime with Israel despite its horrific treatment of the Palestinians. But Russians of today want to have their cake and it too! They want to reclaim the glorious paste of the Great Soviet Union but they want to do business with the Zionist state of Israel. We see the result of this double dealing. We cannot also forget that Hungary fought in the side of the fascist forces in WWII and for that reason, it has deeper emotive reasons to equate communism with the crimes of the Holocaust. But Russians of today do not deserve to benefit from the heroic deeds of the Red Army.

"The Nazis had a conveyor-belt, destroying everyone of a different race and religion. The Communists persecuted only those who were different in ideology. And the Holocaust caused many more deaths – nothing to be compared or even equated with." Stalin was certainly not above punishing whole ethnic groups rather than just individuals. The Holomodor Genocide and mass exiles like that suffered by the Chechyans come to mind. But still, the Soviet communists were the lesser of 2 evils in that they overall killed at a much slower rate than the fascists, or at least than the fascists who insisted on leaving their countries borders and starting a world war. It's also an exaggeration that Hitler wanted to kill all non-Germans, though he certainly did want to kill tens of millions of slavs, a people whom he viewed as an expendable servile race that were in the way of necessary German colonization of their land. The communists killed many people, perhaps more, through incompetence rather than intention. An inside job was recently done in Communist China wherein an aged senior official working for the state news agency used his privileges to clandestinely research old grain and demographic records through out China to do extensive research for a long exhaustive book, now a hit in Hong Kong, that details how the policies of Mao's "Great Leap Forward" caused 35-40 million to starve to death. Interestingly, in a sign of how much the CCP has mellowed over the years, although the book is banned in China, the author is still living there and has yet to be punished. Someday i'm going to have read a lot about all of the horrible stuff the US, the USSR, Germany, China, and various other powerful entities in the modern era have done, but suffice it to say that inadequately restrained vast concentrations of power are very dangerous things indeed. There is a lot of hell to go through before i'll be well-educated on the subject, and i've barely gotten started.

1/2 “Comparison” between fascism and communism is a mere speculative imposition. Two entities getting out from the two memorials are not forced to compare anything and today they are free to stay with their convictions, being subjective or objective. The jurisprudence has the need to compare as equalizing offers the escape of guilt. Once any of the two entities accepts the escape – they are actually admitting the own guilt. (“We did it because you were different racially or ideologically”. But you both – did it.) However the two entities were living racially or ideologically different quite long but the crime was done at the certain moment only. Speaking about the intensity or the power of crime (number of crimes done within the unit of time) we have to compare the absolute number and the duration of criminal commitment. Fascism was worse as criminal power exercised during the declared wartime with the political ability to locate most of its criminal activities on Slavic grounds.

2/2 Communism was worse by absolute number and was effective in the much longer period of time basically operating on various grounds of technologically inferior populations. It ruined Russia and China but not India and not Islamic countries. The worst powerful crime ever committed in human history was Hiroshima, speaking about the number of people killed within few seconds and making even the survivors untouchable as they were overdosed by radiation. But Japan did not fell into communism and went on industrially developing its own way. Now it looks there is the time coming for making memorials for each and every mass-criminal activities and let the people find peace there where they belong or want to be. The political trip is “whose culture stimulated the arrogance of pretenders to mass killing?” No religion did it ever neither ever pursuit such environmental dead-row. The conclusion is only one – whoever mastered it – is using an excuse of right of licensing killing as justifiable revenge. This culture is simply sick being not capable to stop, even nowadays.

It is not necessary to label crimes against humanity to deal with it. All murderous crimes against humanity should be treated equally and receive swift punishment, regardless of who the perpetrators are or who the victims are. It is evil to pick and choose who is to be punished. All who committ these crimes should be punished on an equal basis. This is equal treatment under the law and is necessary to maintain any semblance of credibility. Mass killers should not be honored or protected from prosecution for their crimes.
