Just for fun, did ot did not the US commit genocide against Native Americans? "Answer that question first. Or is that some kind of media hyped conspiracy?"
Did Americans attempt to wipe out an entire ethnic group deliberately?
Yes. For more information head to your local library and READ.
The fine point people might make is that native americans were in the way, but people went out and deliberately sought out Jews. That would be correct in that there was no official policy of genocide regarding American Indians (or whatever the PC term is these days), however there was no attempt to keep them from being killed when they resisted our westward movement and takeover of their lands. The Nazis and America had a policy of killing their respective "enemies". The difference is that my Cherokee ancestors and those who made them walk the Trail of Tears are dead. Not all who were victims of Germany are. This is still a timely issue. The slaughter of native Americans isn't.

I think that is a key point. The fact is we acted awfully in our American history, over the course of about a 100 years we allowed greed and the desire for expansion to overrule any trace of morality in dealing with the native population.
However we never approached the brutality of the holocaust in shuttling Jews by the hundreds of thousands into gas chambers, killing 6 million over the course of 5-10 years. Yes we took over land and we forced some Indian groups on essentially death marches but the two events simply do not compare.
One was a direct extermination campaign that killed 6 million over the course of only a few years, while the other was a greed driven expansion campaign over the course of a 100 years that primarily killed Indians because of their lack of the proper antibodies. I'm not an apologist of our history, I just want to point out how different the two events were.

"The Jews" haven't done anything wrong, as any such groupings of people are not hive-mind collectives that act with one will, and it takes a bigot to think otherwise. However, some people have done and continue to do very wrong things, including exploiting the horrors of the Nazi genocide to support the ongoing occupation and colonization of what little of Palestine is left, and bigotedly grouping Palestinians/Arabs/Muslims as some hive-mind collective all deserving of suffering with their worst.Originally posted by: LumbergTech

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has courted further controversy by explicitly calling the Nazi Holocaust of European Jewry a "myth".
"They have created a myth today that they call the massacre of Jews and they consider it a principle above God, religions and the prophets," he said.

Germany's foreign ministry is sending a clear message to Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad ahead of his Wednesday speech to the United Nations ? don't deny the Holocaust.
If the rogue Iranian leaders does in fact make such a statement before the General Assembly, German diplomats will walk out. And Germany wants other European Union countries to follow, the foreign ministry was quoted by Reuters.
"We will leave the hall if President Ahmadinejad denies the Holocaust or makes anti-Semitic statements ... we are making efforts towards a unified European position," a spokesman told Reuters on Tuesday.
As recently as last week, Ahmadinejad has called the Holocaust a lie, repeating the inflammatory statement as world powers weigh how to deal with Iran's nuclear ambitions.
Stating that the Holocaust did not occur during World War Two is a crime in Germany. Last week Germany's Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier condemned Ahmadinejad's most recent denial and called him a disgrace to his country, Reuters reported.

Days before a visit to New York to address the United Nations, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is doing his best to isolate his country even further. Using a speech on Quds day, an anti-Israel holiday, Ahmadinejad questioned the Holocaust and blamed Zionists for using it as a false pretext for founding Israel as well. "If the Holocaust you claim is correct, why do you reject any research about it?" he said, according to the Los Angeles Times. "The Zionists are behind the ongoing wars in Afghanistan, Iraq and Sudan." He might have more immediate problems on his hand than paranoid visions of Zionist conspiracies, however: thousands of protesters out for anti-Israel demonstrations instead used the state-sanctioned gathering to start a rare opposition rally with chants of "Oh, Hossein, Mir Hossein," in support of Mir Hossein Mousavi, who Ahmadinejad defeated in an election marred by fraud accusations. Many wore green wristbands, the symbol of the opposition movement.
From what I've seen of his statements on the matter, they have always been the same as they are now, and are simply misrepresented as denial of historical fact by nutsos who do believe the Nazi genocide of Jews should overshadow everything else, and are set on misleading others into supporting them on that.
On a side note, I consider referring to the Nazi genocide as "The Holocaust" nutso in itself. Of course I know many rational people use the term simply because it is commonly accepted, but knowing the traditional meaning of the "holocaust" is a sacrificial offering to a deity, using it to refer to genocide strikes me as outright insane. Such terminology suggests Hitler was some sort of high priest doing the work of God, which of course is the opinion of nutsos like John Hagee, but I figure most people only support that concept unwittingly, unaware of the theological implication of the term.

As for who thought it was a good idea, as I mentioned previously, the idea first gained popularity with armageddonist Christians and malevolent elitists. It wasn't until after the Nazi genocide that the idea gained widespread appeal, even amongst Jews.

As my Cherokee great grandmother's entire family was slaughtered by such genocidal bigots, I take particular offence to attempts to excuse those monsters.According to historian Francis Parkman, Amherst first raised the possibility of giving the Indians infected blankets in a letter to Colonel Henry Bouquet, who would lead reinforcements to Fort Pitt. No copy of this letter has come to light, but we do know that Bouquet discussed the matter in a postscript to a letter to Amherst on July 13, 1763:
P.S. I will try to inocculate the Indians by means of Blankets that may fall in their hands, taking care however not to get the disease myself. As it is pity to oppose good men against them, I wish we could make use of the Spaniard's Method, and hunt them with English Dogs. Supported by Rangers, and some Light Horse, who would I think effectively extirpate or remove that Vermine.
On July 16 Amherst replied, also in a postscript:
P.S. You will Do well to try to Innoculate the Indians by means of Blanketts, as well as to try Every other method that can serve to Extirpate this Execrable Race. I should be very glad your Scheme for Hunting them Down by Dogs could take Effect, but England is at too great a Distance to think of that at present.
On July 26 Bouquet wrote back:
I received yesterday your Excellency's letters of 16th with their Inclosures. The signal for Indian Messengers, and all your directions will be observed.
He most certainly did have a purpose. Granted, it was a purpose based on the absurd delusion that ethnic purity was necessary to insure Germany's continuing existence, but it was a purpose just the same.Originally posted by: polarbear6
My point of view is Hitler didn't had a purpose, while Americans did.
Anyone who bothers to look at the historical record knows that colonists made and broke agreement after agreement. While they had the superiority of arms to hold their ground, they instead chose exploit that dominance to flood the continent with Europeans, clinging to the myth of "Manifest Destiny" as some Divinely ordained purpose for their genocidal conquest.Originally posted by: polarbear6
For Americans they had three options, go back to England and face the heat of industrial revolution, or get killed by native Americans. Although a trade agreement or something like that would have helped. And who knows maybe that's what they did for few of em.
You need to understand just one principle:
The case for Israel is made of four propositions that should always be presented in the correct escalating order.
- We rock
They suck
You suck
Everything sucks
