It does look like Trump is taking a sane and non-escalatory approach. Should this stance hold (?), then it's up to Iran not to escalate matters further. I trust Iran about as much as I trust Trump but I am hoping for the best. Time will tell. Rob

It wouldn’t matter if every last family member was a raving cannibal Nazi as far as your guilt or innocence goes. You are no more responsible for the Holocaust than you are for the Trail of Tears or the Atlantic slave trade. Too many people today are too eager to assign us into categories for guilt or innocence assignment. There’s not that much distance between the Woke and Fascist way of thinking in that respect.
I have felt guilty regarding the Holocaust for years.....it doesn't help that I'm gay and could likely have joined the crowds on the trains. Due to the fact that supporting the Holocaust to some degree is to say my being murdered is acceptable for a trait I did not choose - I won't have dealings with family that is anti-Semetic. Rob
Just trying to be neighborly, IL. There has been friction between us from time to time over the years. It was heartwarming to me to see your comment/understanding that bae had gone too far. I just wanted to say something nice/express gratitude is all.
Credit withdrawn if you wish. Rob
You don’t inherit guilt. I only feel bad for what I do. Although I wouldn’t be friends with anyone I knew was racist.
If my family got land, housing, artwork or anything else seized from Holocaust victims I would feel guilty, even if I only inherited it and did not take it myself. There are others who feel this way too, which is why in another example antiquities are being returned to the countries of origin from which they were looted.
This reasoning gets tricky when instead of inheriting art, we inherit land taken from native Americans about 200 years ago. That’s my personal moral dilemma.
